Through the art of line dancing, CLDAA is promoting exercise, health, and enjoyment for people of all ages.

The California Line Dance Association of America (CLDAA) stands as a beacon of joy and health, promoting the vibrant culture of line dancing to all ages and backgrounds. Founded in 2004 by Kico Lin, the association has been instrumental in fostering a community where dance is more than just a series of steps; it’s a pathway to a healthier, happier, and more colorful life. With a mission deeply rooted in the belief that dance can significantly enhance one’s well-being, CLDAA offers a unique blend of traditional line dancing with modern flavors of salsa, cha-cha, hip-hop, and even elements of Kung-Fu, creating a diverse and inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy.

The association’s activities go beyond dance classes and events; they are a testament to the power of community and shared experiences. CLDAA’s commitment to health and happiness is evident in their efforts to break world records and their recognition by various governmental entities for their contributions to public health and community joy. Their philosophy, “Dance for Health, Dance for Happiness, and Dance for a Colorful Life,” encapsulates the essence of their mission, encouraging individuals to embrace the joy of movement and the camaraderie that comes with it.

CLDAA’s impact on the community is multifaceted, offering not just a way to stay physically active but also a platform for social engagement and cultural exchange. The association’s events are a celebration of life, bringing together people from all walks of life to share in the universal language of dance. Whether it’s through their world record achievements or their regular dance gatherings, CLDAA remains dedicated to spreading happiness and health through the timeless art of line dancing, making every step count towards a brighter, more vibrant life for all.
