The VAWSSDC is our area dancers association. We welcome all Vermont western style square dance clubs as members. We also welcome clubs from bordering states and the Canadian province of Quebec. Our purpose is to "promote and preserve Square Dancing". Member clubs get vital information from each other and from national and regional Square and Round Dance Associations, including EDSARDA, our Northeastern regional association. We publish an annual area calendar (currently available only by mail), and we sponsor numerous other activities.
