GOT AN IDEA OR COMMENT ?

 

We'd love to hear from you!

 

As Canada's national square & round dance organization of dancers, callers, leaders, clubs and associations/federations, it is the responsibility of the Canadian Square & Round Dance Society to provide you with an opportunity to be heard.

 

Got a gripe?  Can you suggest a solution?  Got something on your mind?  Jot it down and tell us about it. 

 

If you are a new dancer who enjoys this new activity, perhaps you have a fresh idea or two that might make square & round dancing even better.  Let us know what you think. 

 

How could recruitment be improved? 

As an experienced dancer you may have free time, a talent, or special interest you would like to apply to square dancing - publications, finance, legal, administration, public relations, marketing, communications, writing, to name just a few.  Does the thought of developing new programs and/or services that further the activity appeal to you? 

Consider this your personal invitation - an opportunity to assist the Society in meeting the challenges of the future. 
 

Fill out and send the following  to the Society!
