Our Mission:
The North Carolina Dance Alliance’s
mission is to advance the art form of dance.
As the statewide service organization for dance, NCDA is
fueled by its members of professional dance companies, artists,
presenters, educators, students, institutions, individuals
and other organizations statewide.
NCDA is grounded in the conviction that the concerns and
aspirations of the dance community can be addressed effectively
through active, cooperative endeavors. To advance the art
form NCDA seeks to accomplish these goals:
• Speak as a united, statewide
voice for the profession-advocacy

and the public to understand and to respect the cultural
diversity of the dance art form.
• Foster a sense of pride, support
and fellowship among the dance community.
