Hiya !!!!

Hows you ? good I hope, Welcome to our site we hope you find all the information you need on our voluntary group.

W>S>A was set up in 2002 by 5 ex members of THE UNDERDOGS youth group, their aim was to stage dance events in the country of Wales, that were easily accessible for all.

After a lot of research they discovered that almost all dance competitions held in the UK were VERY EXPENSIVE, they wanted to be able to charge the lowest amount so they could to fill the event with youngsters who had never had the chance before.

WHY, well they had been champions in the Wales dance world for many years, but had never ever been able to afford to enter the larger UK events, they were part of a voluntary group who could never have even dreamed of it.

Wales streetdance association is now run by myself Roberta and Chantal Williams, all of the original members have moved on and are glad to have been part of such a fun adventure.

The first competition was done on a wing and prayer, I sat on the computor for weeks finding dance schools and youth clubs, writng letters to local companies for support and putting together a set of rules and entry forms, then I sat and folded 300 entry forms and rules put them into envolopes, added stamps, posted them and waited.

The deadline for the forms was January 2003, but by the middle of February I had not heard a thing so I decided to cancel, but the very next day the enquiries came flooding in and the envolopes dropped on the mat, all of them hoping they could enter despite missing the deadline, YIPPEE!!! I screamed to my daughter, "I best get the trophies ordered".

At the very first Wales Streetdance championships there were 270 dancers, with under 10's, pre juniors, juniors and senior sections full.

We had a fantastic time, even though I made 100's of mistakes, but everyone went home at the end of the weekend very happy.

we are now in our 6th year and I am proud to say it is a success, we used to stay at Trecco Bay holiday park, Porthcawl (who were fantastic to us), every dancer who took part went home with a small plaque to remember the weekend and most importantly they get to dance!!!!!!!!!.

Over the years the profile of W.S.A has grown to such a level we are now the feeding qualifier for the World champs held in Bremen Germany, the first year it was just a little team of 9, last year they knew the Welsh had arrived with a full squad of 120 dancers and 150 supporters...  

I hope that reading this has either inspired you to take on a huge task like that or even better enter our next event.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME
