About the Society

The South Australian Square Dance Society Inc.

  • The society is a recognised incorporated body, and is therefore responsible to the Government and other legal bodies for all actions of the committee and members.
  • It has a registration number, which means it can be investigated by individuals for any possible reason - thus shifting responsibility from any one individual.
  • In any dealings with government departments or organisations such as Foundation SA etc, a Society has a greater voice than an individual. 

What does the Society do?

  1. Co-ordinates, supports & promotes Square Dancing in SA for the benefit of all Clubs & dancers.
  2. Collates & produces an annual 'Calendar of Events'.
  3. Publishes a monthly newsletter 'The Round Up'.
  4. Produces our SA website: squaredancingsa.com
  5. Responsibility for the finances & bank accounts held by SASDS.
  6. Provides financial support to the Clubs towards the costs of running Learners Classes.
  7. Presents Mainstream Graduates with a 'Learners Package'.
  8. Has responsibility for running The State Convention annually.
  9. Runs Society Dances.
  10. Provides insurance for Society functions.
  11. Liaises with the SA Callers Association and SA Round Dance Association.
  12. Liaises with Interstate Square Dance Societies.
  13. Provides quarterly reports to be published in the 'Australian Square Dance Review'.
