International Dance Teachers Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Dance Teachers Association was incorporated in 1967 as a result of the merger of Dance Teachers' Association and International Dancing Masters' Association. IDTA was formed through a series of mergers and traces its roots as far as 1903.

IDTA issues the monthly Dance International Magazine.
Notable persons of the organization are Guy Howard for Ballroom (International Standard) and Walter Laird (world's professional Latin dance champion) for International Latin.
