Honours and Awards 2022

Award of Excellence

As the highest award given by the Society, it is reserved for any dancer, caller/cuer or leader who deserves special recognition and who is a member of the Society. This recognition is reserved for those whose contributions to square, round, contra, clogging and line dancing have been above and beyond normal activity and outside the activities of the average participant. Accomplishments could be either a single event or activity, resulting in exceptional outcome over a short period of time or a steady, continuing, above-average contribution over a long period of time.
