Offsets
Location: College Park, Maryland USA
Web site: None.
Started: c.1991 but on hiatus until 2019 when we started C2 classes once again to rebuild the club for C2 dancing.
Admitted to IAGSDC: 04 Jul 2024 as Associate Member. OffSETTS joined as an Associate Member Club. It took a while to ask to join the IAGSDC organization as a recognized caller-run club but since the club is the ONLY gay-friendly C2 club in the Washington DC metro area run by a gay caller, we figured it was time to join!
Status: Active
History: The OffSETTS club was started due to a need for C2 in the Washington DC metro area. We originally danced every other Thursday night, alternating with John Marshall, but by 2019 we became the single C2 club in the area.
Classes: C2, currently in session as of August 2024, to finish into full level club by January 2025, on second and fourth Mondays.
Club Caller: Ett McAtee
Other Membership: WASCA (Washington Area Square Dancers Cooperative Association)
Dance Location: Knights of Columbus, College Park Maryland
Fly-Ins Hosted: None.
Conventions Hosted: None.
Fun Facts: The OffSETTS club was named after our caller's own name, Ett and "Sets" after the C2 concept of "offset formations." Our name badge represents a depiction of that C2 formation, with the dancer's name inserted. See the picture of the badge. Our club logo, as seen on the badge, is also our name badge.
