WACA

We regret to say that WACA no longer exists.   

 

Part of the fun of dancing is something called a banner raid. This friendly competition, sponsored by these regions, promotes the exchange of dancers between clubs both within their region and others outside it. While the exact rules for each region may vary, the intent is the same; to promote the fellowship of square dancing.
