IAGSDC - The International Association of Gay Square Dance Clubs. The IAGSDC supports gay and lesbian Modern Western Square Dance (MWSD) clubs worldwide, including the United States, Canada and Japan. The IAGSDC was formed by and for lesbians and gay men and for their friends. Gay square dancing is high energy dancing. Many gay and lesbian dancers can dance both the man's and woman's parts - you do not have to dance just one part.

Callerlab Lists and Definitions - CALLERLAB is the international association of square dance callers. CALLERLAB members documented and negotiated an international agreement on the definition of all the square dance calls. For the first time ever, calls were taught the same way in California as they were in New England - or "old" England, Germany, and everywhere else. Here you will find links to dance program documents, including program lists, definitions, teaching aids and general program policy documents.
