The Lone Star Lambdas was founded by seven adventurous individuals in the Summer of 2005. This enterprising group notified other experienced dancers of the club's creation and extended invitations to join. The inaugural mainstream class to recruit additional members began September 2005 with ten students. Those individuals who completed the class graduated December 2005. Our first caller was Dr. Mikael Jacobson of San Antonio, who remained our caller for over a decade.

​

The Lambdas joined the International Association of Gay Square Dance Clubs (IAGSDC) on 30 June 2006. The club is also a member of the Austin Square and Round Dance Association (ASRDA) and the Texas Federation of Square and Round Dancers (TFSRD).

​

The Lambda's original mission was aligned with the needs of the lgbtq* dancers who wanted to dance either "side" regardless of gender and who were more often solo dancers. They also wanted a welcoming club culture that was open to everyone regardless of sexual orientation, gender expression, or gender identity. And above all, a club that was challenging, lively, and fun!

​

Our club has been primarily dancing at the Plus level each week with a sprinkling of cued Advanced calls. SSD/MS dancers are very welcome to attend and we will accommodate the level of the floor with announced Plus. Rusty dancers are also very welcome to attend and we will gladly help you polish off any rough spots.

​

Our host church, Gethsemane Lutheran has welcomed us from day one and we are very grateful for their hospitality and support of our lgbtq* members, allies, and friends who dance with us each week.
