There is truly something for everyone at the “Dance Teacher Resource Expo” presented by UDMA! Bring your entire staff and spend the weekend!

United Dance Merchants of America (UDMA) was founded in 1959. What started as a small group of costume companies exhibiting at dance events using an eight-foot table and a rack for displays, has grown into the largest dance trade show in North America. 

​Today, they are a diverse group of over 100 companies focused on dance. Costumes, travel, backdrops, software, competitions, equipment, fundraising, and all things glitter are now represented at a UDMA show. A UDMA show is the only place to see over 10,000 costumes and every resource needed to run a successful studio in one place. The ability to make a one-on-one connection with a company and its products makes the shows an invaluable resource for dance studios.

This year, there are four opportunities to attend a UDMA Dance Teacher Resource Expo. The Orlando Metro Show from October 7-9, 2022 at Rosen Shingle Creek. The Washington DC Metro Show from October 15-17, 2022 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The New York City Metro Show from October 22-24, 2022 at Meadowlands Exposition Center in Seacaucus, NJ. Finally, the Madison Metro Show from October 28-29, 2022 at the Alliant Energy Center.
