Event Canceled

Quoting from their website: 

Dear members of the same sex dancing community,

With limited support and resources currently available, ASSDA won’t be able to hold its originally planned Sydney International Same Sex Dance Championships on 22nd  February 2014.

While we regret having to cancel the event, we believe that there is a place in Australia for an association looking to federate the same sex dancing community, and this is what we are going to focus on in the coming months.
