USA Dance Membership

[Dancebug]

I (and my partner) received an email from USA Dance that our membership is about to expire. But the truth is, my partner renewed them by mail and they sent us new membership cards. So I contacted USA Dance by online from because there is no email address. I sent three online forms to different people. I haven't heard anything back from any of them. Does anyone know any email address of someone who is in charge of this matter and will respond? (BTW the online membership information is also wrong.)

Thank you.

Hi, we've just changed (in the last week or so) the membership site for all DanceSport Athletes so there may be a couple of glitches. If you email Bill Rose at billrose@cox.net and explain what's happening he should be able to help you. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Thank you Daphna. I will contact him right away.

erm, it was interesting to find that my new USAdance card has my birthdate on it
I wonder if that woman I used to know who has routinely knocked 30 years off her age (not joking!) finally got busted. I wasn't asked for proof of age.

The membership cards have had birth dates on them for the last couple of years, its the only way to make sure that people are dancing in the right age group. If someone wants to knock 30 years off of their age and when they are 40 or 50 only be allowed to dance against the 18 & 20 year olds, more power to them. If they want to add 30 years and to dance against the 55 year olds when they are 30 that's a problem. We rely on the basic honesty of most people and only ask for birth certificates when there is an official complaint.

Whoops, my mistake. I must have been thinking of the NDCA member card. But the text on the new USAdance card is arranged slightly differently now so that the competition category and age are more obvious.
As for this other woman, she's not a competitive threat, but it gets ridiculous when her age doesn't change from year to year. Nobody is fooled.
