Whether you’re an experienced dancer looking for a new place to dance or you’ve never done a do-si-so, you’re welcome to join us. Our History:
•1948:
Associated Square Dancers (A Square D aka A SQ D) was formed. Our first board of directors consisted of seven officers. Soon after, we grew to have over 300 clubs in our membership.
•1950:
We became incorporated as a non-profit organization. The C
ity of Santa Monica requested square dancing as part of their Diamond Jubilee celebration. A Square D helped coordinate and was one of the principle promoters of the Square Dance Exhibition. Over 5000 dancers and 35,000 spectators responded. As a result of the publicity, many clubs were formed throughout the area. Association leaders felt they could promote square dancing better by working together. A Square D was one of the organizers of what is now the California Square Dance Council. (We are not affiliated with California Square Dance Council or any other council or association)
What we do:
• We provide non-profit status to all our member clubs.
• We offer Liability insurance to the clubs in our membership to protect both the club and the clubs members.
• We provide organizational assistance to our clubs, when requested.
• We promote square and round dancing on a local, state and national level.
