Although OADA has been in existence for over 40 years, it was first incorporated as a non-profit corporation on December 24th, 1991. Our mission is to increase awareness of and participation in Ballroom Dancing and Dance Sport in Ontario, Canada, and worldwide. OADA is a member of the Canadian Amateur Dancesport Association (CADA) which in turn is a member of the International Dance Sport Federation (IDSF). OADA organizes two major events each year: The Ontario Open Amateur Championship, and The Ontario Closed Amateur Championship. In addition, it sponsors the Canadian Closed Amateur Championships, alternating years with the other provincial DanceSport organizations.
