CLUB INSURANCE AND MORE
Club Insurance
Clubs may feel that ''their caller insurance'' protects them; but, according to Callerlab and the American Callers Association, it protects them ''only if a caller causes injury''. Your club is at risk of a massive lawsuit if something happens at a dance, without insurance. However, Dance Clubs may receive economical dancer insurance (per dancer) through the United Square Dancers of America, by contacting the ASSDF's Insurance Advisor, Sheila Gesing, at (870) 942-2273. For further details on the USDA Insurance, and ASSDF Club Dues, click here.
ASSDF clubs needing financial assistance for things like hall rent, lessons, etc., a form is available here. Fill it out, and return it to any member of the ASSDF Executive Board.

The Alliance for Round, Traditional, and Square Dance (ARTS-Dance) has created 60-second videos, with information about the many benefits of dancing. Links to the videos produced for this project are intended to be posted and shared throughout the dancing community. As the videos become available, links will be posted, shared and publicized. A PDF file with more information can be downloaded here.
