About Us
Dancers of Central Massachusetts was formed in April 1999 by a small group of avid ballroom dancers in the Worcester, MA. area. DOCMA is local chapter #3039 of the national organization USA DANCE Inc.
We are a volunteer organization whose purpose is to promote ballroom dancing in the Central Massachusetts area. We do this by holding monthly dances in the Worcester vicinity, usually at Maironis Park in Shrewsbury (see our calendar of events). Our social dances include a free dance lesson, mixers, refreshments, and dance hosts. In December, our Winter Ball, held at lake Pearl Luciano's in Wrentham, attracts dancers from all six New England states. Our Spring Ball, also held at Luciano's also attracts people far and wide.
Our outreach program performs monthly at local nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
DOCMA members enjoy substantial discounts on our great social dances and dinner dances
