Welcome to the MDTA website

The Missouri Dance Team Association is a group of devoted volunteers whose sole purpose is to promote, educate, and serve dance team coaches and their teams in the state of Missouri. We strive to provide training, guidance, and development to all coaches and teams regardless of their size and experience. We strongly believe in teaching by example both in and out of the competition arena. MDTA works closely with the Missouri State High School Athletic Association as well as the National Federation to provide uniform and equitable rules for teams participating in our state contest. Our ultimate goal is to showcase the talents of all dancers in the state of Missouri and give them a contest to display their dedication and hard work.

I am proud to serve as president of this outstanding organization and thank you for the trust that you place in me. It has been 17 years since I took over this position and my how we have grown! Our state competition is highly recognized throughout the country as an industry standard of excellence. Our contest is usually held the last Saturday in February and is comprised of over 100 teams. We seek the most highly qualified adjudicators from across the country to give our dancers the best feedback in order to assist them in the growth of their dancing experience.

Additionally, we pride ourselves on the fact that we not only recognize dance talent but we also recognize our student athletes for their hard work and dedication in the classroom. We honor dancers with GPA’s of 3.5 and higher as well as recognizing the team in each school division that has the highest team GPA!

Coaches, we appreciate you joining us and hope that you will feel comfortable asking questions, seeking guidance and getting involved with our organization. Everyone on the executive board is here to assist you in any way possible. We look forward to a great year!
​
In dance,
Brett
