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.
IDA has been busy
working for you this year with the organization being recognized as
a 501c3 organization. This allows us to accept tax deductible
contributions. To that end, we have added the link
below to our website to allow anyone to contribute if they
so desire. Any amount is welcomed and you can direct
your contribution to the individual areas, the convention, the
scholarship fund, or IDA in general. You can donate via
check, credit or debit card ($3 charge), or via an ACH transfer from
your bank account. The link below is Secure
and live if you want to make a
contribution before the end of the year.
If you are interested in where to take lessons, or which club is close to you, you might want to visit www.squaredanceindiana.org for more information pertinent to new students.
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. Click on the buttons below to help you navigate this site.
From the Presidents
A
Warm Hello to All Our Dancing Friends
As you can see by the picture, Carolyn and I
are now president of IDA.
We want to thank Julie for doing such a
good job during the last year.
With Covid, this was an incredibly
difficult time for all dancing.
Julie (2022) and Patti and Dave Woods
(2020-2021) led us through this time with a great deal of
enthusiasm.
Now she continues to serve IDA as
treasurer.
Dave and Patti went from President to
Treasure in 2022.
If you see any of these three, thank
them for all they have done and continue to do.
We want to thank all who
helped with the National Square Dance Convention in Evansville last
year.
We will forever be grateful to these
hard working folks did all of the hard work for the last three
years.
If you were there, thank you for
coming.
If you weren’t there, you missed a
wonderful event.
As we move through winter,
we have some events coming that you should attend.
On February 26, there is a Hi-Lo dance
in Muncie at the Senior Center
On April 2, we will have the New
Dancers Roundup.
This year we are moving back to
Greenfield.
Both of these events will be a lot of
fun.
Make your plans to attend.
As mentioned above, Covid
has taken a huge toll on our square dance family.
With few if any lessons being held, our
numbers have shrunk.
We all need to work hard to rebuild.
We all need to become recruiters! We
need to rebuild our numbers!
We all love our hobby.
Let us show that to the world!
Let us strive to make the next sets of
lessons great ones!
We can strive to bring back the clubs
we have lost and to open new ones!
New Dancer Roundup is
coming soon.
This dance will be back in Greenfield
at the 4H Fairgrounds on April 2.
Our next State meeting will be on
Sunday, April 16th.
Location should be in Greenwood.
The location is not yet confirmed.
John and Carolyn Cook
