The Bluegrass Chapter of USA Dance (formerly Bluegrass USABDA) hosted its first monthly dance in October 1994 at Southern Hills Methodist Church. It was a success, although at the end of the first year total receipts exceeded expenses by only $1.00! In 1994, the Chapter had about 30 members. The Chapter currently has 103 members.

For the next few years dances were held at Adath Temple located on North Ashland Avenue. We began dancing at Morton Middle School in July 1996, at Oleika Shrine Temple in 1999, and currently at Central Baptist Church since 2011. The format of our dances has remained the same ...one hour of dance instruction followed by general dancing. Average attendance during the first few years was about 65. Average attendance currently is about 80.

Throughout the years, our Bluegrass Chapter has given back to the community. Performance teams have performed in nursing homes and health care centers. The chapter has donated funds for great causes such as  “Dance for the Heart” an event to raise money and awareness for the American Heart Association, we've also had dances to benefit Habitat for Humanity.
