Hello Members,

This year marks 60 years of USA Dance—60 years of building a nationwide ballroom dance community that welcomes social dancers, competitors, and dance enthusiasts alike. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you and your chapter to support your dancers at the USA Dance National DanceSport Ballroom Championships.

We know that each USA Dance chapter is unique—some focus on social dancing, others on competitive programs, and many on simply bringing people together through dance. But one thing unites us all: a love for ballroom dancing and a commitment to its future.

How Your Chapter Can Help Its Dancers

• Consider a donation to honor USA Dance’s 60th anniversary — Your Donations can be marked to support general expenses of Nationals OR scholarship for amateur competitors. If you know which events your chapter members are competing in, we strongly encourage you to donate scholarship to those events specifically!
• Support your competitors directly — for example, some chapters provide financial assistance to members in need of assistance to attend Nationals. A shoutout to the Orlando Chapter and Pittsburgh Chapter, which each provided significant assistance to college teams in their area to attend the National Championships! If you provide direct assistance to your members, please let us know – we would love to include you as part of our donor wall!
• Encourage your members to participate — whether as donors or simply by cheering on the competitors from your area.

How to Donate:

1. Visit The USA Dance Donation Page
2. Select a Donation Amount. If you don’t see the amount you wish to donate, select the ‘Other’ option at the bottom of the list.
3. If you would like your donation to go to something specify, you can specify that in the "Donor Comments" box.
4. Submit your donation — If you specify the funds are for scholarships, 100% of proceeds go to amateur scholarships!

Thank you for all that you do to grow ballroom dancing in your chapter and beyond. We appreciate your leadership, and we hope to see you and your members celebrating this milestone with us!

Warm regards,

The Nationals Organizing Team
