Meetings
CID does not organize any events (festivals, competitions, congresses, workshops).
CID Members organize countless such events around the world.
Events endorsed by CID feature the CID logo and mention "Endorsed by the International Dance Council CID".
Recognition is granted to a limited number of events each year, by formal letter only.
The use of the CID logo without permission is illegal.
To be endorsed by CID, an event must comply to the following requirements:
- be organized by CID Members
- be attended by CID Members (that is participants/performers, not spectators)
- be non-profit (organizers can cover a fixed fee for expenses)
- be of international scope
- guarantee a high level of quality standards
- accept participants regardless of race, religion or political affiliation (non-discrimination standards of UNESCO)
Events endorsed by CID are announced in the CID website.
Events organized by CID Members are announced in the CID Circulars.
