Revised Equality Dance Competition Rules – 17 May 2026

At the EEDA Board Meeting on 17 May 2026, the Board approved a new set of EEDA Equality Dance Competition rules. The changes from the previous set of rules relate to the change from ESSDA to EEDA as well as to other matters raised by members. The principles behind the key changes were subject to a membership consultation in 2025 and were discussed at the 2025 AGM. These rules are linked above and can be applied with immediate effect. These rules will also apply to the EuroGames 2027 in Cardiff. For the Gay Games 2026 in Valencia, the IFSSDA Rules apply.

If you have any comments or questions on the rules, please contact Tom Dane, Chair of the EEDA Competition Rules Working Group.
