Home - Indiana Dancers Association

Welcome to the web site of the Indiana Dancers Association (IDA). Our purpose is to promote, sponsor, and provide for the cultural development and maintenance of high standards of square and round dancing. We assist in the formation of square and round dance clubs, cooperate with callers, cuers, civic and community organizations sponsoring square and round dance activities. We work to further friendly relations among our members and member clubs and encourage square and round dancing as a wholesome social recreation.

This web site is intended to provide the visitor with information about square dance clubs, callers and cuers, when and where dances are held, and contact information. The navigation bar at your left will help you find whatever you're looking for.

It appears that the old Hoosier quote “April showers bring May flowers” moved ahead a couple of months. We have enjoyed several special dances during uncommonly excellent weather and an early Spring. As we enter the month of May, many clubs are preparing for Summer dance programs and public recruiting dances. Many dancers are also looking forward to the work at the Indianapolis Race Track to raise funds for their clubs and IDA. Thank You.

You can be very proud of IDA square dance clubs who collected donations for the Sothern Indiana families devastated by tornados in March. The victims’ needs will continue for several months and your thoughtfulness will be greatly appreciated as they move on in trying to get their lives back to normal as soon as possible.

We are getting our plans finalized to travel with many of our friends to the 61^st National Square Dance Convention, Spokane, WA, in June. This is one of the greatest square dance events plus the enjoyment of meeting old friends from around the US and the world. Indiana dancers will take part in many programs and attend various educational sessions to gather information to share with their clubs. Be sure to have them share their experiences at club and area meetings in September.

Effective February 1, 2012, the Indiana Dancers Association has a new Insurance Representative. John and Carolyn Cook will be the new contacts for any insurance related matters. All the insurance forms have been updated with the new information, so be sure to print a new one from this web site. You can contact John at

For those that are taking advantage of the IMS fund raisers and need alcohol serving information, we have received this about your ATC certification.

Good afternoon.

It’s the law! All alcohol permit holders must complete a certified alcohol server training program by April 30, 2011. Knowing this could pose a challenge, both geographically and/or financially for many not-for-profit organizations; we have established a relationship with “Safe Servers of Indiana” to help with this certification. Thorough their statewide coverage, you will be able to attend a class near your district, all at a considerably reduced price (only $10/person.)

We have provided Dave McRee and his staff with a list of organizations that will require the certification. Please watch for an email from them or you may contact them directly at info@SafeServersIndiana.com or www.SafeServersIndiana.com to get or set up a training class. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks, Denny
