Dear Dance Colleague,

 

Welcome! Whether you are part of an existing state coaches association or are looking to establish a state association, NDCA can help. The National Dance Coaches Association has formed partnerships with multiple state and national dance coaches groups, and we look forward to collaborating with you in supporting your state organization, or assisting you in the creation of a state dance coaches association.

 

A state association for coaches can benefit both coaches and dancers in many ways. There is power in bringing coaches together to work toward common goals benefitting student athletes. Primarily, because state associations represent almost all teams in their state, they can have a strong voice useful in developing positive working relationships with the state athletic and activities associations. They consistently educate and advocate for member coaches by outlining clear rules and policies to govern dance, including judging. If you believe that your state could benefit from developing your state association or in forming a new state association, the NDCA has numerous archived resources available to members.  

 

In addition to resources, the NDCA has cultivated relationships with a variety of state and national association leaders ready to connect with you. Our goal is to advance every dance coaches association across the country through national networking and shared resources.

 

We look forward to collaborating with you.

 

Sincerely,



Sue Putra and Julie Jacobson

CONFERENCE

The NDCA National Dance Coaches Conference is held annually and is an extraordinary opportunity for dance team professionals to come together to learn, share, and rejuvenate.

The NDCA can develop a customized packaging for your association. We bring the credential program directly to you with a group discount. Choose the Coaching (Levels 1 & 2), Dance Safety (Level 1 & 2), & Judging (Levels 1-3) Credentials, or the new Inclusion and Engagement Training Certificate.


PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Connecting your organization with speakers/presenters (live or virtual) with a wide variety of topics including mental health, program development, team culture, medical/injury and more. We are here to help! 


NETWORKING

Why reinvent the wheel when you can network and share ideas with other dance associations and connect with coaches from across the country as part of the NDCA.


RESOURCES

Need a constitution, by-laws or other association documents? We have an entire Members-Only archive to share with you. Whatever your group needs, we have the resources to help.


NEW STATE ASSOCIATION

If your state does not currently have a dance coaches association, we can guide you through the process of creating a new group to support the coaches in your area. Our people have years of expertise to share with your new organization.


ADVOCACY

The NDCA is working with other organizations to help advocate for dance team-specific causes, and are excited about advocating for our own needs within the larger spirit community. Join our efforts and help guide the future of dance teams. Partner with us to grow our dance voice!


JUDGES TRAINING

If you are hosting a dance event and need judges, look no further. The NDCA Judges Program can assist you with lists of credentialed judges. We can also bring our entire judges training program to help your association judges move to the next level in their proficiency and professionalism.
