30 years of IDO World Tap dance Championships
Ronn Daniels / Ft. Lauderdale - USA Prof. Dancer | Teacher | Coach | Choreographer | Prof. Dancer | IDO Judge MY very first introduction to IDO was through Michael Wendt, when he invited me to be a judge in Hamburg in the year 19?? I was very impressed with the thorough organization of events including Competition, Reception, Public Relations and venue with a very large audience and observers. In my capacity as the USA judge I actually felt like a fish out of water being exposed to entrants from many different countries. I was booed for some of my opinions but accepted it graciously.
Since then, over the years, I have seen huge improvement from IDO competitors and from choreography that truly came to impress me in all areas. I had taught in Europe and other places (Australia, Hong Kong, among others,) but at the IDO I saw adoption of some American styles and also wonderful original styles from many other places
Forgive me for “bragging “ but I recently received the Lifetime Achievement award from the Dance Educators of America and, earlier, the President’s Award from the Dance Masters of America.
I am looking forward to even more improvements and growth from an International Endeavor. Th ank you, IDO, Mr. Wendt and the late Bill Fowler.
In 2021 Mr. Ronn Daniels received the “ Lifetime Achievement Award ” honoured by the Dance Educators of America for his contributions to dance and dance education.
