Beginner Square Dance Lessons

Dance in a square make a circle of friends.

No experience is needed everything is taught as we dance. It's 'Simon Says' to music. Any song with a good beat can be used including current hits.

Partner suggested NOT required. A step counter's delight dancing is more fun than walking. Low impact movement. Non-competitive Nothing to bring or buy. Casual dress comfortable shoes.

Everyone dances together. Ages 10 to 100. Younger children can play while we dance. This is a perfectly relaxing way to spend the evening. Two left feet? You are our kind of person. Smiles required laughter provided.

• Brings people together: Square dance (SD) is social networking IRL (in real life). Beginning SD lessons offer the time to get to know fellow dancers and become friends.

• Brain-building: Teamwork with other dancers in your square will keep your mind sharp focused and challenged – no matter your age.

• Like a game: SD is Simon Says for adults. It’s Sudoku for your feet. It’s puzzle-solving on the fly with a team of people working together.

• Non-competitive: Everybody walks off the floor smiling friends. Mistakes are forgotten. No penalty box or time out. 

• Good for step-counters: In one evening of square dancing you might walk three to five miles. Moderate low-impact heart-healthy movement. 

• Fine for “two left feet” folks: It’s walking in time to the music. As long as you know your right from your left you don’t need to be a fancy stepper to square dance. 

• All kinds of music: You will dance to just about any song with a good beat and brisk pace including tunes by the Beatles Adele Garth Brooks Lady Gaga Pink Pit Bull and more. 

• Inclusive: Partner suggested but not required. You’ll find plenty of experienced dancers ready to dance with you. Dance in every state and many other countries. Calls are always in English - Smiles are universal.
