Welcome to Square Dance Revival!

Square Dance Revival is a nonprofit educational organization working to build a stronger future for square and round dancing.

We introduce non-dancers to the fun, friendship, fitness, and community dancing offers while helping clubs attract and welcome new dancers. Through national social media outreach, podcasts, free resources, marketing education, and leadership training, we share practical ideas for growing participation and building vibrant, welcoming clubs.

We believe the best traditions thrive when they evolve. By working together, embracing new ideas, and making it easier for people of all ages to discover dancing, we can help ensure square and round dancing continues for generations to come. Click this button for a free download:
