in 1976, the National Dance Alliance made its official debut as a sister company of the National Cheerleaders Association, known as the most exciting, full service provider in the dance spirit industry. The NDA’s commitment to teaching young cheerleaders how to “lead the crowd” and be leaders in their schools and communities began with his first camp at Sam Houston State Teachers College in Huntsville, Texas, in 1948. Since its beginnings, NDA continues to serve generations of dancers and cheerleaders around the world. NDA is recognized for continued commitment to the development of excellence, teaching leadership development, strong support of school athletic teams, pursuit of excellence in technical skills and teamwork. These core principles are the fundamentals necessary for each young dancer to act with integrity, inspire excellence in others and become the leaders of tomorrow.
