Welcome & Thank You
Dear Athletes, Fans, Sponsors, Officials, Coaches, Parents, Social Dancers, Vendors, and Fellow Volunteers:
On behalf of the USA Dance Board of Directors and the Ballroom DanceSport Council, I extend a whole-hearted invitation for you to join us at the 2024 USA Dance National Ballroom DanceSport Championships. At this spectacular event you will observe America’s best Amateur, Professional and Collegiate athletes competing to become crowned the National DanceSport Champion of their divisions. This is also the only National DanceSport event that determines which Amateur and Professional athletes will represent Team USA at the upcoming World DanceSport Federation’s (WDSF) World DanceSport Championships and Cups, and the World Dance Organizations (WDO) World Championships.
Please visit the informative pages of this dedicated website to learn more. Register for the competition, purchase tickets, and connect with the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown Hotel for your reservations. Whether you are competing in one event or in a multitude of styles and divisions, or just watching, we hope you can stay for the entire three days and enjoy all this event has to offer.

Dear All:
As organizing chairperson, I am pleased to welcome back most of the 2022 planning team. After having such a successful Nationals in Pittsburgh, it helps to have continuity as we move to St. Louis for what we expect to be another outstanding USA Dance 2023 National Ballroom DanceSport Championships. Although we will miss having the volunteer support of a strong chapter, Social Vice President Lolita Brawner is stepping up to fill the gap with a Social Leadership Conference planned during the weekend. In addition, there will be a social dance and workshops. So, dancers, encourage your local board members to join you in St. Louis where they can cheer you on to victory and enjoy the social activities themselves during the weekend. Working together to grow the organization makes USA Dance much stronger.
On the competition side, we look forward to again having a wholly complete ballroom Nationals; all age groups, skill levels, amateur, pro-am and professional. We’ve got it all!
Join us as we celebrate our unity and share the excitement as new champions are crowned.
As the song goes, “Meet Me in St. Louis.”
