There are many relevant dance organizations; for now I'm focusing mostly on Ballroom. Going forward I'll address numerous additional organizations in other areas of social recreational dance.
In relation to this discussion, three dance associations of particular potential interest are:
- NDCA (National Dance Council of America)
- USA Dance
- DVIDA (Dance Vision International Dancers Association)
Also the two large studio franchise dance businesses need to be considered:
- Arthur Murray International
- Fred Astaire Dance Studios
Of the twenty-two members of NDCA, eight of them, plus DVIDA (above), are professional dance teacher associations.
- Dance Educators of America (DEA)
- Dance Teachers Club of Boston
- National Dance Teachers Association (NDTA)
- New York Society of Teachers of Dancing
- North American Dance Teachers Association (NADTA)
- Pan American Teachers of Dancing
- U.S. Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (USISTD)
- United States Terpsichore Association (USTA)
