Connect-Educate-Grow

Welcome to Dixie Y'all!

We are an association of dance educators, certified by test through Dance Masters of America, who meet periodically throughout the year to collaborate and work together to further dance outreach and education in our region. Established in 1978 as Dixie Dance Masters, our chapter was formed as the 37th affiliate chapter of Dance Masters of America. Now known as the Dixie Association of Dance Teachers, we are continuing to set a standard for dance education throughout the Gulf Coast Region.

Dancers in Shadow

"Dance is one of the first art forms known to humankind. As teachers we are the conservators who preserve the history, and we have the chance to add our knowledge to take the art form to new heights. We pass that torch to the next generation who will in turn pass it on to the next. I believe the dance education field is one of the greatest professions in the world."
