Welcome to USA Dance Bluegrass Chapter!

USA Dance is a non-profit organization devoted to the enjoyment and improvement of ballroom dancing.

The Bluegrass Chapter holds monthly dances from 8:00 until 11:30 p.m., usually at the Oleika Shrine Temple in Lexington, which includes a dance lesson from 8:00 to 8:45 p.m. All profits from the dance and auction proceeds from our September "Dance For Heart" benefit the American Heart Association. The public is welcome at all of our dances.

The Chapter offers a five-week series of introductory ballroom dance lessons twice a year, in the summer and again in the winter We also perform demonstrations for local nursing homes.

Although membership in the national association is encouraged, it is not required to attend the dances. Yearly membership dues in the national association are $25 for the amateur dancer and $20 for college students (age 19-34).

Attendance at the monthly dances ranges from about 120 to 150.
