Regional Dance America (RDA), formerly the National Association for Regional Ballet, began in 1956 when eight companies met in Atlanta, Georgia to share choreography, classes and performances. 

     In 1963 a national organization was formed and the Pacific Region's first official Festival was held in 1966 by Deane and Barbara Crockett of the Sacramento Civic Ballet.
