Founded in 1949, the Arkansas State Square Dancing Federation (ASSDF) is the primary organization for all square and round dancers in Arkansas! This community is built around exercise, friendship, and wellness of all ages and skill levels. The late Lee Kopman, (former national caller), noted that "there is no competition". Another way to look at it, is the higher level you dance, the more moves to learn (and mess up on!!). And, no matter how long one has been dancing or calling, you're going to mess up sooner or later...you just smile, and laugh it off.
