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.
Indiana Dancers Association needs your HELP in contacting your
Indiana legislators to obtain their support to make Square Dancing
the Official State Dance of Indiana. A copy of the proposed
act can be downloaded
here.
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.
