As a square dancer, I respect other dancers and callers and treat everyone with courtesy.

I go beyond the matter of form because those who participate in the activity with me are all my friends.

I support my own club in all activities because it means that the continuance of square dancing depends on my personal loyalty.

I do not wish to offend anyone. I am very particular of my personal habits, breath and cleanliness.

Many Square Dances are held in public facilities where liquor is forbidden and their continued availability is dependent upon a favorable public image of square dancers. The co-ordination required for following the calls is impaired by drinking; and close contact in a square with anyone who has consumed alcoholic beverages may be offensive. Therefore, I recognize the validity of the efforts to maintain a separation of square dancing from drinking, and will refrain from its use before and during the dances which I attend.
