Ballroom Dancers of Mid-Missouri is a chapter of USA Dance (formerly USABDA), based in Columbia, MO and serving Mid-Missouri area. Our chapter number is 2084. If you are interested in becoming a member, please fill out USA Dance Individual Membership Application.

This website is hosted by Columbia Online Information Network (COIN).

We will hold our socials at Twilight Dance studio from now on. It has an excellent floor and music system. If Twilight is not available on the first Sunday of the month, we will move our social to the next available Sunday, so check back for the date of the next social! If the weather is bad, please try to bring an extra pair of shoes or a towel to clean your shoes so we don't get the dance floor all dirty with our sandy salty street shoes.

For PDF versions of our handouts, please go to our news page. If you need contact info for local dance venues, or want more information about dance, please visit our resources page. Some vendors offer discounts for USA Dance members. We have highlighted their websites in our list. Check out our new page with amateur competitions resources!
