  “Dear Members,

  In order to incentivize our organization’s membership growth, help chapters recruit new and former
  members, and build new competitive categories as we begin to recover from the effects of the COVID
  pandemic and get America Dancing Again, the Board of Directors of USA Dance unanimously approved
  the following:

  1. Retroactive to January 1, 2021, anyone that joins as a new Social Dance member or
  renews their Social Dance membership will be given 13 months of membership instead of
  12 months. This free month incentive will expire on December 31, 2021 .

  2. Retroactive to July 1, 2021, for every Social Dance Adult or Social Dance Supporter member that joins
  as a new member or renews their membership the chapter that they belong to will get $5. This cash
  incentive will expire on December 31, 2021.

  3. The membership fee for Professional DanceSport Athletes will be reduced to $25 for the remainder of
  2021 and $25 for 2022.

  4. The membership fee for Pro/Am Amateur Athletes will be reduced to $25 for the remainder of 2021 and
  $25 for 2022.

  5. Retroactive to January 1, 2021, all current and new Breaking members will have their membership
  expire on December 31, 2022.

  6. Special Olympics memberships will be reduced to $10 for the remainder of 2021.

  It is the hope of the Board that these incentives will help motivate our chapter officers and DanceSport
  leaders to not only recruit new members, but also engage with former members and bring them back into
  the organization. If you have any questions please email Membership Director Margot Garnick
  at membership-dir@usadance.org. ”

   Termination of MOU between USA Dance and USA Breakin’
                    Thursday, April 22, 2021                             November-December, 2021                      Page 18
        USA Dance Board of Directors accepted the
termination of the Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between our organization and USA Breakin'.
        Our organization plans to move forward in a
cooperative and positive manner to work towards the
goal of bringing equity to the Breaking community by
appointing more breakers from different parts of the
community to our Breaking Task Force, empowering
them to develop a successful National Sports Program
based on the WDSF Breaking for Gold program,
adopting organizational changes to integrate them fully
into our governance structure, continue to support the
larger Breaking community, and promote the spirit of
Olympism as we approach the 2021 WDSF World
Championships, 2022 IWGA World Games, and the
2024 Paris Games.
        This mutually agreed upon termination of the
MOU comes at a time when we are working to bring
the larger DanceSport community together. Since USA
Dance represents multiple DanceSport disciplines
(i.e.: Latin, Standard, Smooth, Rhythm, Salsa,
Acrobatic Rock n Roll, Breaking, etc.) we will continue
to represent their collective best interest, the right of          WDSF is pleased to inform everybody about the
all athletes to participate freely, and safeguard the              new place and date for the 2021 WDSF World

                                                                   on December 4th, 2021 at Theatre de Chatelet

   Hi Dancers!
         I'm Hoping you are all well and having luck receiving your vaccinevaccine!!
         Things are still very serious and I urge you to continue staying home home.. One of our regular
   Melbourne Dancers and good friends succumbed to ccovid      ovid this past month
                                                                              month!!
         As you know we have not had a USA dance in almost a year and there are no plans to resume
   in the near fut  ure as complete safety depends on so many variables
                 future                                            variables..
         It is time to "Pause" the Vero Beach Chapter of USA Dance. This is a USA Dance Central
   Office option that means the Chapter will be paused for up to two years. The remaining balance of
   our checking acc     ount which is $1
                   account            $1,,395
                                          395.. plus the last Dance receipts (Feb 2020) and cash box (Carol
   has these which has not been deposited due to covid) for a total of around $1,800  $1,800.. These funds will
   be forwarded ASAP to USA Dance Central and will stay with the Central Offi            cers until such time as
                                                                                     Officers
   the Chapter Dance is resumed or will revert to USA Dance parent Company if the Chapter stays
   closed
   closed..
         As I have stated in previous emails, I am no longer a year round resident of Vero beach and
   no one has come forward to take over the Chapter despite numerous emails and personal requests      requests..
   I will make myself available to help and assist anyone who would ste     stepp forward, take charge and
   restart the Chapter
                 Chapter..
         Our relationship with the Heritage Center has never been better and I am confid          ent they will
                                                                                            confident
   be delighted to see us up and dancing if that time comescomes..
         Our current checking account reflects a generous donati       on to the Heritage Center to help keep
                                                                donation
   them afloat during this trying year
                                     year..
         We also made generous donations to a local Food Ban     Bankk and Toys for Tots .... despite only two
   Dances all year
                 year!!
         I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your help and support these past 33+    +
   years
   years.. Please feel free to email me with any questions concerning the transition
                                                                                 transition..
