SUPPORT OUR YOUTH!

There is a rumble going through this land that is gaining momentum and becoming louder and louder. No it's not the sounds of gang violence, racism, or drugs. This is a joyous noise! It is the sound of our future, our youth, in increasing numbers adding energy and enthusiasm to square dance halls across the country. Our youth are square dancing's most vital asset. We need to make sure that they feel secure as a member of our family. Unfortunately, in some cases, they are made to feel out of place or even unwanted. To help show our youth that the majority of adult dancers welcome and encourage their participation the HOP TO IT! SUPPORT OUR YOUTH! movement was formed. We ask that adult dancers show their support of our youth by wearing a small green frog sticker on their badge. This identifies you as a YOUTH FRIENDLY dancer. When a youth dancer sees the frog on your badge they know they are welcome to join you in a square.
