Joint ESSDA / NASSPDA Letter
Dear members of ESSDA and NASSPDA, and other interested persons and organisations!
Re: Conversations towards a World Federation
On Friday, August 6th, 2010, representatives from ESSDA and NASSPDA met at 5:00 PM at the Hotel Maritim in Cologne, Germany, with interested members of the public at large to discuss the results of a survey conducted during the preceding 4 days of dance competitions at the Gay Games in Cologne.
This survey asked individuals to answer yes or no to five questions. The survey was placed outside the dancers’ practice and changing room, a location easily accessible to all interested parties. Its purpose and further information about it was announced throughout the days of competitions, and a sign was affixed to the wall indicating prompting participation in this survey, thus providing ample time and opportunity for everyone’s views to be collected.
