Let's Keep Central Massachusetts Dancing!

About Us

The most important benefit is the great social dances we have right in your own back yard! They include dance lessons, mixers, dance demonstrations and other fun activities.

Becoming a member
If you sign up for membership at a DOCMA dance, your admission to the dance is free! Registration allows you to dance in local, regional and international competitions. Membership is open to singles as well as couples. Beginners are welcome.

Enjoy the opportunities to help others by becoming involved in our Outreach Programs, which bring the physical, mental and social benefits of ballroom dancing to the aged, the young and the general public.

The cost of membership is only $25.00 annually for a "social dancer."

Volunteer Opportunities
We are a volunteer organization and are always looking for input, ideas and especially people who would like to get involved and help out. We have developed an exciting and varied Operating Plan for this year and beyond which offers many types of activities for which we need volunteers.

Membership - Plan and organize programs for the solicitation of new members; keep records of current members; assist in the development of chapter operations and programs to serve members.

Hospitality - Make members and non-members feel welcome at all chapter functions. Help in planning and execution of social dances and special dance events.

Publicity - Work on the chapter newsletter. Disseminate news about amateur dancing to other media and to the general public. Maintain close contact with local media representatives.

Outreach - Approach local colleges and high schools with the purpose of introducing ballroom dancing to students. This can be done through demonstrations, lessons or by working with a local dance professional. Contact local nursing homes, shopping malls and other public places to give demonstrations of the healthful and entertaining aspects of ballroom dancing.
