The mission of the USA Dance, Inc. is to promote the growth of ballroom dancing as both a lifetime recreational activity and as a sport.
Our chapter:
The Flower City Chapter sponsors monthly social dances and seeks to bring the joy and benefits of ballroom dancing to as many people as possible, including students in colleges, high schools, and middle schools.
Attendance is usually 50 to 90 dancers with a wide range of dancing abilities. Our dances feature strict tempo music and a floor large enough for all styles of dancing.
Both Standard and Latin dances are played throughout the evening, and two to three mixers are held during the Sunday social dances to allow dancers the opportunity to get to know one another.
Our dances are open to the public and we encourage anyone interested to attend. Members are encouraged to bring their friends and introduce them to ballroom dancing. As an incentive for non-members to join USA Dance, if you join at the dance, your admission will be applied toward your membership fee.
Our dances are from 6PM to 9PM.
Before the dances, beginning at 5:15PM there is a free lesson introducing you to a dance. Each month we choose a different dance.
