IDTA Area Boundaries

Areas have been in operation for many years and represent an opportunity for members/teachers to gather together and obtain information and guidance specifically for their own needs.  This includes engaging lecturers and running competitions – the arrangements for which are made by a committee, elected from the members in that Area.

Details of these meetings are published in the Association’s bi-monthly magazine Dance International and IDTA members can attend all or any of the meetings. The majority of the meetings are held without charge to members on production of their current membership card. Other qualified teachers and bona fide students are permitted to attend on payment of a fee – but this does not allow them access to special business meetings, which are restricted to members only. If you wish to know more about the activities in your Area just contact the Area Secretary whose details are published in the Dance International.

We set out in the following pages the current administrative Areas operated by the IDTA to which the Area Meetings refer. However, no member is restricted to attending only the meetings in the Area where they live.  Members may attend any Area Meeting but can only take part in competitions held in the Area in which they reside.
