4. Are spectators allow at the dances?
YES. We love to have spectators come see what square-dancing is all about. We welcome questions about where and how to learn to square dance as well. We do ask that small children be attended by an adult at all times as dance floors can be very crowded and square dancing is a contact activity.
5. Is Square Dance Attire required?
Square dance attire is customarily worn during all evening dances and strongly encouraged during the evening convention dances. However, paid dancers are welcome to dance regardless of attire.

The dangles come with registration, however you can also purchase them at our Ways & Means tables set up at dances around the country. They also have other gator items for sell.

Prices will increase again on May 1, 2025. They will then be $85 for adults and $42.50 for youths.
8. Do I need to complete a long form if I don't want housing?
It helps us plan if we have a long form indicating that you do not want any housing assistance. This way we know you have not forgotten to complete the form but still want to reserve a hotel or camping.
