Greetings!

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 their 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 members 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

News from MDTA

The MDTA Executive Board is excited to announce a change to its MDTA Competition format. The 2015 State Competition will feature a SOLO Competition for Seniors and Juniors. The solo contest is Friday, February 27 starting at 5pm. Location has yet to be determined. 50 juniors and 50 seniors will be allowed to enter, no more than 3 per team. If space is still available after the deadline, we will open registration again.
As requested by members, MDTA will be hosting the Coach's Workshop in November. This year, an Officer Training element will be added to the program. More information will be available in September.
For nearly three decades MDTA membership fees were $20.  At a recent Executive Board meeting , it was decided to raise the  membership fees to $35 for the head coach and $20 for each additional coach from the same school. 

A head coach must be a PAID member prior to their team registering for State.

The membership application is available under MEMBERSHIP INFO.
