Learn to Square Dance !
Updated
January 15, 2014
Hey, it's a whole lot of fun and good exercise to boot!
Think you've got two left feet?
Well, just bring them both to a
square dance, and before you know it
those feet will just
start tapping to the music.
Soon you will find
yourself surrounded by helping hands and friendly faces guiding you through one
square dance move at a time.
Think you're too young? or too old?
Ages of current square dancers
range from 8 to 78+.
It's one of the few
sports that mixes all different ages of people together.
Are you waiting until you have a partner?
Square dancers are couples,
singles, and youth. All dance together.
Some couples will allow
their partner to dance a tip with a single or a youth.
Some singles or youth
learn both parts so they never have to sit out a tip,
but always have a chance
to dance.
Want to check it out first?
Most clubs invite spectators.
Visit a club and see for yourself what a wonderful activity this is and find
out how soon you can participate.

Most
clubs start classes in Fall, but some start other
times of the year - your best bet is to contact them for information. I will
list more information on beginner dances as soon as I receive them from the
