WASCA HISTORY
WASCA was formed in October 1956 to provide an organizational structure to host a 1957 Regional Dance Convention in the DC area. A second Convention was hosted by WASCA in September 1958. The successful results of these efforts provided the enthusiasm to produce the “first” WASCA Spring Dance Festival in March 1960.
The annual Spring Festival is produced the 3rd full weekend of March and is WASCA’s primary source of income for operating the Organization. Starting in 2006, the WASCA Spring Festival will be held at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia. It is one of the most popular Square and Round Dance Festivals of its kind in the Nation and attracts hundreds of dancers from other areas and always features a first class line-up of the best Callers and Cuers in the Nation.
An annual Delegates’ Ball is presented by WASCA to show appreciation to the Club Presidents and the Delegates.
