The INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACKS IN DANCE (IABD) has become the Mecca for Blacks in Dance such as artists, dance companies, directors, choreographers, those interested in black dance issues, performance showcases, and artistry. The Association, founded in 1988, provides a network, formal newsletters, choreographers directory, published papers and is the raison d'ệtre for the annual conference. The Association also responds to and initiates dialogue around issues that impact the Black Dance Community as well as the community at large.

The IABD Conference has become the convergence of ideas and interaction not only for the dance community, but also for those who serve the black community, especially the black critics association and educators.
