Our Council is an educational, non-profit organization for the promotion of Square Dancing, Round Dancing, and related dance instruction in the Eastern Montana - Northern Wyoming areas. Currently, we have six Square Dance Clubs and one Round Dance Club located in the Billings area. All of the clubs dance from mid-September to the end of May.

The Yellowstone Square Dance Council got its start in 1952 when dancers and clubs had become so numerous in Billings that coordination and organization were needed. YSDC clears dates for council and club sponsored square dances, establishes policy in the Billings area, promotes square dancing, and encourages square dance activities in the area. A  newsletter, the Grapevine, is published monthly and features articles from each club and upcoming events.
Many of the clubs located in Billings now dance at Cedar Hall which is located at  Metra Park Fairgrounds. Cedar Hall was remodeled by the Council in 1985 and features a professional dance floor, kitchen, and air conditioning
