Introduction of Hong Kong Ballroom Dancers International (HKBDI)
The Hong Kong Ballroom Dancers International(HKBDI) was established on 14th February2011 by the current President, then the Chief Advisor, who linked up a group of enthusiastic competent dancers and highly respected elder generation of teachers to be formed the Committee members, with a view to promoting DanceSport (Ballroom & Latin-American Dancing) in the three dimensions of Sports, Art & Culture!
2011 was the budding & nurturing period of HKBDI, no new competition were organized to allow ample time for competitors to study in-depth the subjective of HKBDI and provide opportunity for them to choose which competitions to participate. Meanwhile, we managed to hold two promotion parties – one in June to raise donations for HK Red Cross, one in October to create mutual communications and understanding among different Dancing Circles in HK, and missions were achieved for both parties.
19/2/12 was the date of the first competition organized under HKBDI. Being endorsed by BDFI, this event is named as 1st HKBDFI Cup. 14/10/12, we organized another new event, namely 1st Handover Cup, under the sponsorships of the Central & Western District Council – a big step forward towards the road of co-operations with the SAR Government. This Championships has become an annual event to celebrate the handover of Hong Kong sovereignty from England to China.
3/2/2013, 2nd HKBDFI Cup was moved to Thailand, incorporating the first time ever 4-Nation Invitational Team Match. It truly brought a revolving wave of Dance Sport Team Match around the World.
HKBDI was officially affiliated as Asian Dance Council (ADC) Associate Member in February 2013. The 3rd HKBDFI Cup was held on 2014-02-16 at Tsim Sha Tsui Kaifong Welfare Association Main Hall. The BDFI have endorsed this event ever since then each & every year, while the venue of HKBDFI Cup had been changed to Hotel Regal Riverside since 2015.
