The basic purpose of each Chapter is to promote ballroom dancing in the local community and to educate the public regarding the physical, mental, and social benefits of ballroom dancing. Chapters welcome beginner dancers and help them get started in ballroom dancing. Talented dancers are encouraged to become Dancesport Athletes. Chapters promote and sponsor amateur ballroom dancing for competitors, social dancers, and the general public. They work toward the recognition of ballroom dancing as an art form, a lifetime recreational activity and an Olympic sport.
Chapters strive to bring the joy of ballroom dancing to as many people as possible.
Affordable social dance programs are the cornerstone of each Chapter s activities. The admission charges are much lower for members than for non-members. Singles are welcome at all Chapter dances. Dance Lessons Chapters usually present a one-hour formal dance lesson at the beginning of each social dance. Members are encouraged to take some formal dance lessons to increase their skills and confidence on the dance floor.
