The National Carousel Clubs (NCC) are operated as a committee of URDC and has close to 100 active clubs.

The purpose of the National Carousel Clubs is to promote round dancing at the intermediate and advanced levels and to promote a common repertoire of dances that is taught and programmed across the dance community through the publication of club teaching activities and most popular routines.

Carousel dues are due each year in October. They are separate from URDC. Dues are $10 per year per club, payable to URDC, mailed to the URDC Membership Chairmen, Jerry and Louise Engelking, 1751 County Road CC, Muleshoe, TX 79347-9362 or paid on this website via Paypal at the URDC Store.

Official guidelines for becoming a new URDC Carousel Club, or for changing leaders, are defined in the URDC Supplemental Rules, Section 17. Members are invited to review these guidelines in the Members Area.
