Because It’s More Than a Competition.

Two ways to be part of the 1980 Circle. One shared purpose.

The 1980 Circle supports the legacy and future of ScotDance USA’s National Championships Weekend, ensuring every dancer has access to a national stage, today and in the future.

When you join, you’re not just supporting an event, you’re helping make the National Championships experience possible for every dancer, every journey.

How It Works

The 1980 Circle includes two ways to give:

1980 Society – Full access. Full experience.
1980 Guild – Meaningful access. Real impact.

Both levels provide critical support for the National Championships.

Where Your Support Goes

Your contribution helps fund the core elements that bring the National Championships weekend to life:

  • Venue & production (staging, A/V, seating)
  • Awards & recognition
  • Judges & pipers
  • Dancer and attendee experience

Additional funds allow us to enhance the weekend with special programming and new opportunities.

For any questions, please reach out to 1980 Circle Chairperson, Bree Erin Brownlee at 1980Society@scotdanceusa.com.
