World 10 Dance Champions
This page lists the official World Champions – Professional 10-Dance of the World Dance Council (WDC). The championships are authorized and organized under the auspices of the WDC.
The World Championships have been held annually for Ten Dance since they were organised by the ICBD in 1980 (with the exception of 1982). The ICBD was renamed WD&DSC and renamed again as the WDC. It represents all the major professional DanceSport countries.

“On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“While the Governor, and the Mayor, and countless officers of the Commonwealth are at large, the champions of liberty are imprisoned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
