What is ATA?

ATA was formed in 1990 as the Australian Teachers' Association.

ATA was formed with the following objects:

(a) To promote the aims of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society;
(b) to foster excellence in the teaching of Scottish Country Dance;
(c) to assist in the ongoing professional development of teachers by undertaking to preserve and disseminate materials supportive to the above objectives; and
(d) to stimulate co-operation amongst all teachers and dancers.

ATA is governed by an Executive of seven members. The Executive of ATA is taken from members in one Australian Society Branch on a 3 year rotation basis.
The current Executive is from Melbourne.

ATA produces a regular newsletter (ATAChat) for its members, which is available to other interested people on subscription. For information contact the Secretary.
