USA DANCE chapters support the Mission of USA DANCE by creating dance opportunities for local citizens through the organization of affordable social dances, dance lessons, and workshops. Chapter members present dance demonstrations in nursing homes, retirement homes, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, and other public places and strive to educate the public regarding the health and social benefits of ballroom dancing.

The goal of each USA Dance chapter is to serve as the leader and focal point for ballroom dance activities in the community and to provide affordable opportunities to learn and practice ballroom dancing.

Each USA DANCE chapter strives to:

• Educate the public on how ballroom dancing enhances the development of mental and physical health, including such characteristics as poise and appearance.
• Educate the public, particularly the young, on how organized and supervised dance activities improve and develop capabilities.
• Provide a means of information exchange between the various dance related organizations and encourages interaction between dancers of those organizations.
• Protect the public against any combination of persons or organizations seeking to impose restrictive conditions on dancing.

Each USA Dance Chapter is dedicated to promoting amateur ballroom dancing and educating the public about the numerous benefits of dance as a lifelong recreational activity, an art form, and an Olympic sport. Through our chapter social dances and other programs, we welcome all ages and dance skill levels, encouraging everyone to share the joy and beauty of ballroom dancing
