Great Low Impact Exercise
It’s not uncommon to walk the equivalent of 2 miles during an evening’s dance! Put that unused treadmill in your basement!
You Don't Need A Partner
If you don’t have someone to dance with, don’t worry. We have “angels” (experienced dancers) in all of our classes who’re going to be there to help you every step of the way!
No Better Entertainment Value Anywhere
Most new dancer classes are free the first two weeks. After that, it’s a very modest charge per person — way less than the cost of a movie!
Terrific Mental Workout
Square dancing is all about dancing the right moves as the “caller” sings them out, and there are a lot of moves. You’ll be calling upon your mental and muscle memories constantly during a dance!
Friendships For A Lifetime
Square Dancing is “Friendship Set To Music.” You’ll make friends that you’ll keep for a lifetime. And no matter where on Earth you go, you’re going to find other dancers. You’ll have instant new friends everywhere!
But I Hate Country Music!
Today’s callers use rock, pop, jazz, blues, and more in addition to country. The music is as varied as the callers and dancers!
Fun For The Entire Family
Square Dancing is fun for all ages. Anyone from 8 to 80 can enjoy themselves during smoke / alcohol free dances!
What Square Dancing Is NOT
- Competition! We just have fun and get some moderate exercise.
- Costume Ball! Like “Cosplay”, costumes are not required, but they can add to the experience. Some long-time dancers like to show off their “western wear” for special occasions.
- Country Music! Dancers walk in time to the music which can range from Classical to Rock. “Singing Calls” include many popular songs.
- Complicated! Beginners learn by dancing. The caller is there to tell you what to do so there is no fancy footwork to memorize.
- Couples only! You don’t have to be married. Bring a friend, relative or neighbor to be your partner, or take a chance to make a new friend.
- Confining! Once you reach a level of confidence with the calls you can dance outside of you local club. Modern Western Square Dancing is danced internationally!
- Costly! Most clubs charge a flat fee each month for attending their dances. A dancer has a month of weekly opportunities to dance for a price equal to or less than a dinner and a movie.
