Chapter #16 - Dance Masters of Ohio
The Dance Masters of Ohio is an association of dance educators established in 1936. Members are certified by examination and their main focus is advancing the art of dance and improving the practice of its teaching. 
Our parent organization, Dance Masters of America, is an International Educational Dance Teachers Organization that has served the dance community for more than a century. 

The Dance Masters of Ohio offers workshops, master classes and training sessions for both teachers and students. Events include Solo Title Competitions, Scholarship Auditions and Performing Arts competitions. Winners of these competitions have the opportunity to compete on the National level at the Dance Masters of America National Competition during the summer. Junior Membership is now available to our young students and gives them an opportunity to perform in a dance company and participate in several master classes. College Scholarship monies are also available to students of Dance Masters of Ohio members who are preparing for College. All of our members are Certified Dance Instructors whose main goal is the dance education of their students.
