Hong Kong Dance Federation Ltd. (the Federation) is a non-profit organization established in 1978 and all founder members were acclaimed personages in the dance society including Pearl CHAN, Stephen KWOK, Helen LAI, LAU Siu Ming, NG Sai Fun, and the late CHENG Ya Ching and WONG Ngai Yum.

It carries forward the art of dance, encouraging and expediting dance development in Hong Kong as well as promoting cultural exchange. While applications for group and individual memberships are accepted upon recommendation of committee members, anybody interested in dance activities may become an associate member. At present, the Federation boasts a total membership of 207 Group members (Active members 145) and more than 700 Individual and Associate members.

The Federation has launched a large-scale project to lay the basis for a local dance culture. Subsidies of outlays, sponsorship of venues and commission of performances have been offered by organizations such as the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the Home Affairs Department, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Hong Kong major event organizing companies. Presently, it is a member of the International Dance Council (CID), an umbrella organization under UNESCO for all kinds of dance.

In 2012 the Federation was elected by the International Dance Organization (IDO) as the contact of Hong Kong. Nominated to enter the IDO World Tap Dance Championships in Riesa, Germany, R & T won 3rd, 7th and 12th places in the categories of solos male and duos. The flag of Hong Kong slowly went up the pole at the venue. In 2013 the Federation became Probationary Member of the IDO, the only representative of Hong Kong.
