Rules, Bylaws, & Policies

It is the responsibility of every DanceSport Competitor to know the rules and regulations that apply to them. For example, each Amateur Athlete must keep count of how many proficiency points they have gained and when they are no longer eligible to dance in a certain proficiency level. Violations of the rules may result in disciplinary action up to and including suspension from competition or loss of amateur status. Please read the USA DanceSport rulebook carefully.

USA Dance Rulebook

This Rulebook contains the rules and regulations that govern DanceSport competitions, competitor elegibility, and conduct.

Bylaws

The USA Dance Bylaws are the rules by which USA Dance is administered and run. These rules cover the governmental structure of USA Dance, the rules for voting, the officials that are voted in or appointed, and many other aspects of the basics of the organization.

Policies

The policies are guidelines which have been determined and approved by the Governing Council (see Bylaws for definition of Governing Council). They cover things from the maximum number of competitors on the floor at any one time to the naming of various DanceSport competitions.

Proficiency Points Database - Beta

See Guide to Proficiency Points in the Forms & Resources section of the website. We're excited to post this link to the Beta version of the USA Dance DanceSport Proficiency Point Database. You can search this database for your own proficiency points by simply typing your first name into the 'Dancer's Name' box at the top of the page and hitting 'enter'. A pull down menu of names will appear below a message 'choose dancer's name'. Just select yourself and click on 'retrieve score card'. Your personal record of proficiency points will appear within a few seconds.

We are still working to translate data from CompManager software commonly used at NDCA competitions. Thus there are still a few gaps in information. Be assured that we are continuing to work to make this database more accurate and more complete daily. You can let us know of any discrepancies or missing data by contacting us at registrar@usadancenationals.org. Thanks!
