Universal Dance Association Analysis

In 1974 a great organization was founded, the Universal Cheerleading Association. Then, what I call a copy-cat of an organization was formed, the Universal Dance Association or UDA. The UDA was formed in 1980, but I believe the UCA is more, popular, and well put together.

Maybe because, UCA is now way more popular, and over 50 years
