Dance USA’s® International Dance Team is known as “American Dance Team”

Dance USA® will choose 25 dancers across the United States from our National Finals to represent the USA at the “World Dance Championships”. This is an International Dance competition!

Dancers are selected at the discretion of the Dance USA® staff based on the following: technical execution, stage performance, workshop class participation and decorum to represent the USA
as a member of the “American Dance Team”.
