Ballroom as an Olympic Sport

From what I can garner, it seems that the WDF (World Dancesport Federation) has been recognized by the  International Olympic Committee as the as the sole representative body for Dancesport, which entails competitive ballroom dancing.  At least, this is what Wikipedia says.  Supposedly this has been the case since the 2008 olympics, and I have not heard anything about Dancesport becoming an official Olympic sport.  Hopefully this will happen within my lifetime.  I think I will look into this more to see whether Dancesport is anywhere near becoming an Olympic sport.
