Resources
We include here a number of LGBT square dance resources that may help you in our activity. For additional questions, come along to any of our club events or dance nights – we’ll be pleased to answer any questions!
Callerlab
This organization sets and maintains the standard Modern Western Square Dance programs. Do you need the written definitions of calls? Want to know at which level a call is included? Then see the Callerlab Definitions
IAGSDC
The IAGSDC (International Association of Square Dance Clubs) organizes and supports clubs like Boots In Squares. All member clubs vote on association rules, and the plans for future conventions. There is a wealth of historical and resource information at the main IAGSDC website
Peel-off In Palm Springs
Every year a fun weekend of dancing is organized at one of Palm Springs’ clothing optional resort. (Sorry – the event is only open to men). For more information see the Peel-off website
The Honky Tonk Queen contest wasn’t always the only big crowd pleaser at convention. Two conventions (Baltimore and Vancouver) hosted a Hunky Trunks King competition, where the best bodies were on display, and included a fun ‘pool tip’. Sadly, the Hunky Trunks competition is no more. And the beautful Bathing Belles, who organized the event and who themselves appeared in the most gorgeous bathing wear at those conventions, have not been sighted in recent years. This was the ‘Golden Age’ of gay square dancing!
