UPDATES
WDSF eCARDS
WDSF have updated the ID card system with an eCard. The old plastic ID-Cards will still be valid until their expiry.
All eCards are now issued annually online by the WDSF - more information and the online application form can be found here. From 1 October 2017 DNZ and all WDSF member bodies will no longer process applications.
If you are dancing in a WDSF event in Australia or Internationally you will need a valid WDSF eCard or ID-Card. A requirement for either card is to hold a valid DanceSport New Zealand licence.
