Central District Square Dance Association

Central District. You might ask yourself..."Where IS Central District?" It is a 40-mile circle around Oklahoma City or about 5000 square miles. There are currently 17 Square Dance clubs within Central District.

Central District is all-around support in Central Oklahoma for folk dancing: square dance, round dance, clogging and contra. The Association provides assistance for clubs, callers, cuer/instructors and is responsible for the yearly Square Dance Jamboree.

Hello for the first time from Bill and Melissa Hancock. We are excited to start 2018 as your new Central District Presidents. The theme for 2018 will be “Traveling Dancers.” Nothing will improve your dancing skill, increase your enjoyment of square dancing, and enhance the success of our clubs more than club visitation. I challenge every club and every dancer to visit at least four clubs in 2018. I plan to visit 18 clubs this year! We are excited to work on several goals: Increase visitation Improve District communication Improve publicity Improving District communication will be accomplished several ways. For Central District Communication, major District and club events will be listed: In the Grand Square newsletter On the Central District Website On the Central District Facebook page Via email blasts if you provide us with an email address to send them to. We will also add in text messages to Central District Board Members. Improving District publicity will be accomplished by continuing the successful programs of the last couple of years and adding more to the website and Facebook page. On July 29, the afternoon before the Summer dance, we have scheduled a marketing professional who happens to be a nationally famous caller, Mike Hogan. Mike will give a presentation and answer some questions on marketing square dancing. Normally this seminar is provided by the Callers association for District callers. This year your Central District and the Central District Callers are working together to provide the seminar to both your caller and to officers and interested members of each club. We are also inviting other callers and officers from around the state. This is a once in a decade opportunity to learn more about marketing square dancing and your club. Let’s be Traveling Dancers Bill and Melissa Hancock 2018 Central District Presidents "Howdy" Letter - Grand Square - January 2018

So what are you waiting for? The #1 benefit derived from dancing is FUN. Secondary benefits include: physical activity, mental stimulation and social interaction. It might behoove you to check into some form of folk dancing if you have just retired or perhaps have just sent your last child to college. Visit a club of your choosing and just watch. If they appear to be having FUN, they probably are. You can too.
