USA Dance Los Angeles County Chapter #4031 is a fun and growing group of social and competitive ballroom dancers from the Los Angeles area. We're a sub-chapter of the national non-profit organization, USA Dance, which serves as the national governing body for DanceSport, the competitive form of ballroom dancing in the United States. Our primary activity is organizing large ballroom dances that typ
ically attract a few hundred people. At all of our dances, a complimentary dance lesson from a professional instructor is included in your admission fee. These dances are open to the public although members of USA Dance receive discounted admission. We dance to a wide variety of music -- Waltz, Fox Trot, Rumba, Cha Cha, Tango, East and West Coast Swing, Samba, Salsa, Hustle, Night Club Two Step, etc. Typically, we throw in a couple of dance mixers, a special performance, and we always provide snacks and drinks. We also provide dance hosts at all of our dances to make sure the ladies are never sitting idle. In addition to organizing dances, we sponsor various community programs, such as our K-12 Program that teaches ballroom dance to students, and our Senior Outreach Program that brings ballroom dance performances to senior assisted living centers. For the past several years, we have organized an annual Ballroom Showcase. Many of our members are also competitive dancers, who compete locally and across the nation in DanceSport events. Hence, an additional part of our mission is to support those DanceSport athletes and to encourage more dancers to consider competing. In a nutshell, our goal is promote ballroom dance and encourage others to dance with us! Membership dues go to support our national organization's mission to foster the inclusion of DanceSport into the Olympic Games. In addition to supporting this worthy cause, members receive discounted admission to our dances and others in the Los Angeles area, a free annual subscription to American Dancer Magazine, and the opportunity to be involved in our local chapter's various community outreach programs. USA Dance offers various membership levels for social and competitive dancers. For more information on joining, visit http://usadance.org/membership/
