Welcome to the Missouri Dance Team Association (MDTA). On behalf of the entire executive board, let me be the first to welcome you to our organization's website. 

MDTA is dedicated to advancing the dance teams in the state of Missouri to a higher level in their performances on the court/field, in the classroom, and within the community.  The organization is committed to assisting its members in achieving these goals throughout the year with their teams. 

A   dance team coach is a difficult, yet exciting position. MDTA is here to help a coach in their endeavors.  The organization works hard to provide the members an opportunity to participate in a dynamic state competition each year, which alternates between Kansas City and St. Louis. Through the state competition and other activities, MDTA provides our members with opportunities to gain the recognition their dancers deserve.

I   invite any Missouri dance coach visiting this site to consider joining the organization and its mission. The membership application may be found on the website.

For all current members, it is a pleasure to serve as your President and I hope you feel free to contact me, or any executive board member with questions, concerns, or issues with which we can be of assistance. Visit our site often to stay abreast of all events and information regarding our organization.

Brett Elder 
MDTA President

Beginning September 5, 2016 and until February 5, 2017, coaches may submit video clips of their routines to be evaluated for adherence to NFHS Spirit Rules.  

Coaches are asked to video a move as it will be executed in the routine; when possible, the coach should send a copy of the routine in its entirety. 

If a complete routine is submitted, the safety coordinator requests that the routine be downloaded to YouTube and the link be sent in an email. Several submissions could not be reviewed last year due to the format in which the clip was submitted.

Submissions are to be sent to mdtasafety1@gmail.com.  In the email, the coach must provide an explanation as to why they are asking for the move to be reviewed; in other words, why do they think the move is illegal.  It may take 7 days for a response to be received..

Mark your calendars!
