Join many of your fellow USA Dancers for the next edition of Dance Fiesta, Albuquerque’s longest-running dance competition. This year’s Dance Fiesta is Sept. 24 – 27.
Dance Fiesta is primarily a Country competition, but ballroom and Latin dancers also get their day.
Even if you aren’t competing, you can participate in more than 40 workshops or take part in several social dance parties during the event.
(UPDATED) Celebrate our 20th anniversary by dancing to live music by the High Desert Big Band on Sunday, July 19!
This special dance runs from 6 – 8:30 p.m. at the Albuquerque Square Dance Center, Albuquerque’s biggest dance hall! Admission is $15 for members and students with ID, and $20 for others. The band will play a mixture of ballroom, Latin, swing, line dances, and more.
Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the big dance!

Our USA Dance chapter — USA Dance of North Central New Mexico — has been named district chapter of the year for 2025. And chapter president Rosie Harper was named district Volunteer of the Year.

It’s hard to think about summer when winter is parked on the doorstep. But we promise that those warmer, longer days will return — and when they do, USA Dance will switch to evening dances.
Our new summer schedule kicks off with the June 7 dance. From June through August, all USA Dances will be 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Lessons will start with a line dance class at 5:15 p.m. followed by the beginner and intermediate lessons at 5:45 p.m.
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Big changes are coming to USA Dance! You spoke; the board listened!
You asked for more line dances (which don’t rely on leaders and followers). And you wanted lessons for intermediate and advanced dancers as well as beginners.
So, starting in March, we are introducing line dance lessons at each dance, followed by simultaneous dance lessons — one for beginners and one for intermediate and advanced dancers.
