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. Chapters also arrange low-cost group dance lessons, workshops, and seminars for their members. Many chapters provide special dance lessons for beginners. Each Chapter is expected and encouraged to publish a newsletter that has value for both the social and competitive members.
