WHAT
The
Committee to Promote Square Dancing (CPSD) is a 501(C)(3)
charity that was founded in
1999 to increase community awareness of the social and health
benefits of square dancing. The charity actively promotes activities
dedicated to the expansion and preservation of square dancing.
WHY
Square
dancing is a wonderful activity that provides light aerobic exercise,
mental stimulation, and social interaction in a safe environment.
The result: Physically, it may lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, age-related memory loss, and osteoporosis. Mentally, remembering all of the calls may help to keep the mind sharp, potentially staving off age-related memory loss. Socially, having a large circle of friends may lower depression and provide a social support structure. And lastly, IT'S LOTS OF FUN. MISSION
The mission of CPSD is to get the word out that Square Dancing continues to be a wonderful activity that fulfills the social and physical needs of its participants. To this end the CPSD offers low-cost classes that are open to everyone in the community as well as caller scholarships and a new caller practice support group. YOU CAN HELP
The CPSD welcomes any and all proposals from both clubs and callers to promote square dancing. Also the CPSD may be able to use its members' efforts and its non-profit status to lower costs. So please consider joining CPSD or forming a CPSD-like organization in your area. WHO
