The WDA’s goal is to serve as a primary voice for dance and dancers throughout the world, and to encourage the exchange of ideas and the awareness of dance in all its many forms. The DCA members are professional practitioners of dance criticism, and the organization seeks to further the identity of dance criticism as a profession; to offer its members solidarity; and to provide the means for exchanging information and exploring fresh approaches to critical writing. The Americas unit of the World Dance Alliance and the US-based Dance Critics Association have integrated their conference programming. Although Wilddancer is most interested in social couples dancing, we are looking forward to getting a more complete idea of the whole range of dancing. It will be interesting to see how our cowboy duds fit in with leotards.
