The ADEA has connections with dance teachers and dance masters from across Canada. A continuous exchange and networking makes our association both enjoyable and beneficial. Our projects have provided an atmosphere for new and lasting friendships that are the basis of our business relationships.

The Alberta Dance Educators Association was formed nearly sixty years ago, in an effort to promote dance in Alberta. The ADEA is a registered non-profit organization of dance enthusiasts, sixteen years and over, active or retired. Membership is available at three levels - Studio Owner, General Member and Associate.


With dozens of members across Alberta, ADEA membership provides an opportunity to network as well as many privileges. Members are expected to adhere to the Code of Ethics, which strives to maintain a professional standard of conduct in the dance community.
