NATIONAL FOLK DANCE COMMITTEE
THE WORLDS LARGEST SQUARE DANCE ORGANIZATION
UNITED SQUARE DANCERS OF AMERICA
THE NATIONAL FOLK DANCE CAMPAIGN IS ON HOLD UNTIL WE CAN GET SUPPORT TO
SUBMIT A NEW BILL
The square dance activity has worked for many years toward the goal of getting square
dancing recognized as the National Folk Dance. There are currently 31 states that have
designated square dancing as their State Folk Dance. The passage of a bill would give
square dancing and its related activities more visibility and have a positive effect on
recruiting new dancers.
