Michigan Square Dance Convention 

For those that attended the 2026 Convention, thank you for coming and we hope you had a great time dancing with us.

And thanks to the many dance leaders and volunteers who gave their time to make this event fun for all.

The Michigan Council of Square & Round Dance Clubs has cancelled the 2027 convention. 

It will be evaluating what form future state conventions might take. 

This decision, while difficult and controversial, gives the organization time to consider whether continuing to hold conventions in their current form is financially responsible. The Council can also evaluate other, possibly better, ways to serve Michigan’s square and round dance community. 

Lower dancer participation following COVID, along with the financial challenges of covering convention costs, were key factors in this decision. The Council hopes this will be a one-year occurrence and remains encouraged by the number of clubs reporting an influx of new students.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Council encourages supporters to remember the organization when planning donations for the coming year.

The Council gratefully acknowledges the financial efforts and contributions made by several Michigan clubs.
