The Rocky Mount Chapter of USA Dance originated when Vince and Martha Tesoro accepted an invitation to sit with a small group of people at a local dance in January 2005. One of the couples at the table, Rod and Terrie Buckner, saw Vince and Martha dancing the Foxtrot, and expressed a desire to learn to Ballroom Dance. Vince immediately started to organize lessons at the YMCA in Rocky Mount with instructors from Raleigh. Within a year over 100 people were taking lessons at two locations on 3 nights. The classes moved from the Westridge Y to the new YMCA and then to the brand new Imperial Center. By December, 2005 enough people joined USA Dance for a chapter to be formed. The chapter met on December 9, 2005, elected a board of directors, and the chapter was formed. |
