In 1983, the National Gay/Lesbian Square Dance Association was founded as a national organization to encourage new non-profit gay square dance clubs across the country. Renamed the International Association of Gay Square Dance Clubs (IAGSDC) at the first convention in 1984 when Squares Across the Border became the first member club from outside the US.
Harlan Kerr was the first chairperson of the National Association.
