-
The Society was formed in 1979, although local clubs had existed in some states since the early 1950s. The objective of the new organisation was to bring the State clubs and organisations together as a national body. The current aims are to encourage and foster development of square dancing in Australia at a national level, to develop co-operation and friendship and to co-ordinate functions and activities, excluding the national convention.
