I took a look at the NDCA website in response to Clary's note in another thread. While there, I noticed an announcement on their News & Press page about a committee being formed to join the NDCA and USADance into one body. The announcement was apparently made in August but I very seldom look at that feature.
As an active amateur competitor, I personally hate this idea. One is an organization primarily for professionals and the other for amateurs. They represent different constituencies and, if combined, the interests of the amateur dancing community would not be well served.
