Chapter #34 - Dance Masters of Mid-America
Dance Masters of Mid-America was founded on August 2, 1976, affiliated as Chapter #34 with Dance Masters of America. Throughout the past three decades the organization has grown to over forty members living in Iowa, western Nebraska, southern Minnesota, and northern Missouri. 

In the past four years we have recommitted our chapter to education and networking, building a group of dance colleagues who enjoy each other's fellowship and professional insight. 

Through our combined efforts, we provide our members and their students, as well as our communities a diverse array of educational programs, a commitment to ethical standards, and information that keeps us at the forefront of dance education. 

Membership in Dance Masters of Mid-America provides area dance educators with many outstanding opportunities for learning and for fellowship.  More
