The promotion of DanceSport to the Olympic Movement was an important part of the organisation's vision even in those early days. Normand Martin, the Founding USABDA President, was a strong champion of the cause and first to petition the Olympic Committee for "inclusion of Ballroom Dancing into the Olympics."
Now, fifty years later, USA Dance celebrates its founding fathers and all who have worked on turning early vision into reality. Even if the ultimate goal has eluded them so far, they have created an organisation that is set up perfectly to face the next fifty years. Happy birthday, USA Dance!
