USA Dance Inc is the National Governing Body for DanceSport in the United States and with 174 chapters throughout the country is also the representative organization for all social and recreational ballroom and Latin dancers in America, ranging from pre-schoolers to seniors.

For DanceSport, USA Dance Inc is the official member organization of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the U.S. member of the world governing organization, the World DanceSport Federation (called the WDSF), which is the official global member organization of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Along with the WDSF, USA Dance has the sustaining mission to gain national and global acceptance for DanceSport as an official medal sport in the Olympic Games.

USA Dance Nationals is the final event of the season where champions are crowned and US representatives are chosen. The representatives will then compete overseas representing the US in competition. For the first time the National Championships will be holding WDSF Open Championship events! The WDSF Under-21 Standard, Latin and 10-Dance Open Championships will be held during the evening sessions of the competition. These events are not to be missed either as a competitor or as a spectator. This year Nationals is offering the opportunity for competitors to get up and shake the competition nerves out of their system by competing in three fun events: the Hustle, Salsa and West Coast Swing. This competition is always high energy and everyone just “leaves it on the floor.”
