WDSF (World DanceSport Federation) prepares its athletes rigorously for the Olympic Games, ensuring that they meet the high standards set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This includes providing training and support to athletes, as well as ensuring that their competitions are held to the highest levels of fairness and transparency. WDSF also works closely with the IOC to ensure that DanceSport is recognized as an Olympic sport, which would provide even greater opportunities for athletes to compete at the highest level.

WDSF has developed a unique judging system for breaking competitions, which is designed to ensure fairness and objectivity in the evaluation of performances. The system uses a panel of judges who evaluate each performance based on a set of pre-determined criteria, such as technique, musicality, and originality. Each judge assigns a score to the performance, and the scores are then averaged to determine the final score. WDSF also uses video replays to review and validate the judges’ scores, ensuring that the results are accurate and consistent.

WDSF creates breaking certifications to ensure that judges and adjudicators have the necessary knowledge and skills to accurately evaluate and score breaking performances. These certifications provide standardized training and assessment for judges, helping to establish consistent and objective criteria for evaluating performances. By creating certifications, WDSF also helps to promote the growth and development of breaking as a competitive sport, providing athletes with a clear and transparent pathway for advancing their skills and competing at higher levels.

Having a WDSF breaking certification is worth it for several reasons. Firstly, it provides individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to evaluate performances accurately and fairly, ensuring that competitions are judged objectively. Secondly, it helps to establish standardized criteria for evaluating performances, promoting consistency and transparency in the judging process. Thirdly, it demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and excellence in breaking, helping to advance the sport and provide greater opportunities for athletes. Finally, having a WDSF certification can enhance an individual’s credibility and reputation as a judge or adjudicator within the breaking community.
