Membership Updates For 2012
USA Dance would like to inform all of our athlete and professional members that the Governing Council has voted to approve an important, but modest dues increase commencing December 31, 2011, and that beginning January 1, 2012 our athlete and professional memberships shall commence on a calendar year basis.
We are pleased to let you know that dues will increase only $5.00 per year for minor and student athletes; and only $10.00 per year for adult and professional athletes and for DanceSport professionals.
Adult Athlete $70
Student Athlete $25
Minor Athlete $20
Professional Athlete $75
DanceSport Professional $80
There are several important reasons for these changes:
As our members are aware, USA Dance has not had a dues increase for a number of years, yet the costs for administering our fast-growing DanceSport programs have continued to rise. As evidenced by our National DanceSport Championships, National Qualifying Events and other activities, we are committed to providing our athletes with the most cost-effective and highest quality of competitive opportunities. Some of the important dancesport expenses include providing USA Dance Observers for all of the USA Dance-sanctioned competitions, making important upgrades to the proficiency point system and other related website services, as well as maintaining the best of judging and administrative support for our competitions. |
