USA Dance Rocky Mountain Chapter sponsors and hosts many different types of dance events in the Denver region.  Monthly social dances, an entertainment-oriented showcase of local dance talent, and Dancesport  competitions.

SOCIAL DANCES
Partner dancing is a wonderful regimen of exercise and social interaction that can help keep you healthy both physically and mentally throughout your life.  It's fun, engaging and you get to meet and befriend some wonderful people from all walks of life.  We will soon be hosting monthly dances featuring all the best Latin, Ballroom, Swing and Country music open to the public and dancers of ALL levels and experience.

DANCESPORT COMPETITIONS
Another aspect of partner dancing is competition.  For the dance enthusiast who wants to excel in one or more partner dance styles, competition is the place to do just that.  We currently host two competitions a year, one in the spring and one in the fall.  The third and largest competition in the area happens every June - The Colorado Star Ball, for amateur and professional dancers from all over the country.

SHOWCASE
Once a year, early in the spring, USA Dance Rocky Mountain Chapter hosts the area's longest-running performance oriented event of Ballroom and Latin dancing.  Participants from the area's premier dance studios take part in a day-long event showcasing their talent in serious, funny, dramatic and group routines that range in experience levels from beginners to national title contenders.
