The mission of the Colorado Dance Alliance shall be to enrich the lives of the people of Colorado by supporting and promoting the dance arts and arts performances through education, communication and advocacy.CDA was founded in 1980 and has been a continuous force in dance in Colorado for almost 30 years. Incorporated as a non-profit 501 (c) (3) in 1982, CDA is led by a board of dedicated volunteers from a broad and varied spectrum of the dance field. Our board members represent studio owners, critics, choreographers, company artistic directors, dance wellness experts, dance clothing suppliers and dance teachers from studios, public schools and universities. A number of our board members have also served in prominent positions on the boards of other dance and arts-related organizations. CDA is not only dedicated to diversity on its board, but in the constituents it serves. Its membership is made up of dancers from all over the state, representing many dance forms including social/ballroom, ethnic/world and concert dance; dance performance and workshop presenters; professional and amateur/ professional dance companies; dance studios; college and university dance programs, regional dance and arts service organizations, and a Denver-based dance library. In its effort to reach out to many in the dance community CDA membership includes those that support the art of dance such as physical therapists, Pilates practitioners and dance wear companies.
