The Westin Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas was the perfect location for everyone to come together for three days of Bigger and Brighter dance team coaching experiences! We had a jam-packed schedule full of cutting-edge classes, networking opportunities, and celebrations. A special thank you to our volunteers who worked hard to make it all happen and all of our NDCA Partners, including Rebel Athletics, our Title Sponsor.


To Sum It Up:
  • We offered 35 classes.
  • We had over 30 high-end speakers.
  • We had a packed Partner Expo Hall full of businesses who introduced coaches to the latest dance team fashions, training, travel, and fundraising.
  • We gave away countless prizes, including camp vouchers, dazzling clothing, coupons for free uniforms, and so much more.
  • We line danced, worked out, and danced the night away.
  • We reconnected with old friends and met new ones.
  • We met together in our divisions to talk about current events and the future of dance.
  • We were moved by heartfelt speeches made by the Hall of Fame Inductees at the Gala.


We announced our dates for next year:
May 14-16, 2026 Dallas, TX

Awards

One of the goals of the NDCA is to honor our own, and we did that with our 2025 Hall of Fame, NDCA member awards, and service pins.
