RDA – A National Association of
Dance Companies
Quality dance is an important part of the rich and diverse culture available to
all individuals in every community across the United States and Canada. The
pre-professional dance company is at the core; reaching communities and
populations that may not be served by larger, professional companies. As
members of Regional Dance America, these companies claim national and international
recognition for the standards to which they are held. Young dancers regardless
of geographic boundaries have access to quality dance performance, training
opportunities and over $300,000 in scholarships annually; choreographers thrive
in enriching settings with all resources necessary to grow and develop into
regional, national and international stature. Regional Dance America is the
national identity for member companies, unifying the five regional
associations.
