The **Dance Films Association** (DFA) is a non-profit organization founded by Susan Braun in 1956; [José Limón](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Lim%C3%B3n), [Ted Shawn](/source/Ted_Shawn) and [Alicia Markova](/source/Alicia_Markova) were charter members. Its stated purpose is, "Dedicated to furthering the art of dance film.".[1]

DFA has held a film festival every year since 1971, which has been co-sponsored by the [Film Society of Lincoln Center](/source/Film_Society_of_Lincoln_Center) since 1996. It also arranges tours of dance films; in 2010 over forty venues were booked, from New York — the [Museum of Modern Art](/source/Museum_of_Modern_Art) — to Bialystok, Havana, Manipur and Istanbul.
