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.

From the President:
June is the start of the vacation season. Some clubs don't dance in the summer, but others continue with their schedules. There are also many street dances, fair dances, and festival dances. These may accord us a chance to dance with a club whose schedule would otherwise conflict.
I want to say a big "Thank you" to all who helped plan, set up or participated in any way with our dancing entertainment at the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon. We had a great time
The Nation Square Dance Convention is June 25th through the 28th in Wichita, Kansas. If you have never attended a national convention, this would be a good opportunity. If you do attend, all are invited to participate in the "Parade of States" on Saturday evening. We are not limited to a set number of representatives from each state this year, On Saturday evening, wear your black and white outfits and come "parade" with us. If you don't have a black and white outfit, come join us anyway. As you plan your summer activities, don't forget to include the State Museum Dance on July 12.
Register now for the State Square Dance Convention to be held in Muncie, Indiana on October 17th, 18th, and 19th this year. We have blocked the same hotels as last year. When you make your reservations, please tell them you are with the Square Dance Convention. Shuttle service will be provided again this year.
Be safe in all your travel and summer activities. We hope to see many of you around the square.
Don & Ruth Gauck
IDA President
