Join the new Basic/Mainstream program for an adventure in fun, fitness, and friendship. You don't need a partner or any expericence. If you can walk and listen at the same time, you can square dance. The benefits are healthy exercise of both mind and body. Our weekly program will teach you the Basic/Mainstream calls and the moves needed to dance anywhere.

Each September, the club offers a two night complimentary introduction to square dancing. At sucessive Wednesday workshops, new calls are introduced and previously taught calls are practiced. You will be dancing and having fun from the first night. Because square dancing is a progression of learning dance calls, we can not accept new program members after the initial 2 night period until the next introductory session. If interested in joining the program, email the club for the next introductory workshop date. For directions, click here.

In modern square dancing, the Caller uses calls to direct the dance - most times making up the dance as he or she is calling. The dance is created as it progresses, so every dance can be different. It's not a repetitious dance, like the old barn dances. You never know what will be called next, so you have to listen and react. There are square dance clubs all over the US and around the world. So, when you go on vacation or a business trip, there probably is a square dance club near where you can join in on the fun. It's a good way to meet new friends and to find the local spots of interest. You can literally dance around the world.
