I was always under the impression that the Imperial Society Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) is an apolitical body. Notwithstanding the fact that they are based in England. But of late I believe and I may be wrong, ISTD seems to lean towards the policy of the British Dance Council (BDC). One such example is the British Dance Council Dress Code?
The ISTD just celebrated their 107 anniversary and they are very popular in Asia and has established themselves as a reliable examination body in this part of the world. With the conflict between WDSF and WDC and BDC, certainly siding either party will not be taken too kindly by the warring factions in Asia. They may even lose out their market share in this Dance examination business.
It would be good if the ISTD can come out and state whether they are an apolitical body or do they subscribe to the policies of the BDC, notwithstanding they are members of BDC.
Would the ISTD care to come out with a statement on their stand.

Remember ISTD do not have to come out with any kind of a statement.
If people were so dumb they did not know that ISRD were members of the British Dance Council they should hang their head in shame at their ignorance.
Anyone who wants to tear up their ODSF qualifications can do so. It is a Free World. Well in the BDC OSRD wotld although not the WDSF world.
Thank you Dance Mate for clarifying this fact. You have any news about the sacking or Suspension of Galvano Ferrugia. I am sure many WDSF people would like to read the reason.
Dance Mate what is your problem, so ISTD is a member of the BDC, but the issue is simple, ISTD can remain a member and be apolitical.
I am equally curious to know whether ISTD is now being a political body, the example is rules of BDC are being publicise on ISTD web site. Further the former President and Council Member of ISTD has surrendered his WDSF adjudicators license.
I feel ISTD have to call a spade a spade.
Dance Mate speak rationally and really I do not know what is your problem. The question asked in the Blog is valid and I myself residing in UK would like to know ISTD stand in the matter?
This Dance Mate chap cannot be an English person, probably some Eastern European dunce. The article is as clear as can be and yet this dumbo cannot understand but goes on a tirade over what?
Dear Mr. Blogger can you just remove this silly persons comments.
Dear Mr. Torville, Dance Mate comments may appear to be silly, but then silly is as silly as can be. Even idiots are entitled to their opinion. Dance Mate operates a Blog Dance Matters, certainly you are and you should visit their site , so that you have no doubts how idiots think and operate.Am I rude to Dance Mate or angry? No certainly not but an idiot by any other name is still an idiot and nothing can change that, there is no cause to be angry at all. I will only remove Dance Mate's comments only if it is abusive, vulgar and bear no relevance to the topic in discussion.
Aw! it is that retard Dance Mate again making its appearance. Tear up ODSF qualification or does he means ISTD? Poor messed up chap , just pity this village fool.
