Frequently asked questions

Why Square Dance?

It is a wonderful activity that provides light aerobic exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction in a safe environment that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

I have two left feet. I can’t dance.

Think of square dancing as "walking set to music". The caller lets you know what move you are to make next. We will have experienced dancers in the squares with you during lessons.

I had to square dance in school. Is it like that?

Square dancing is not the same as it was in elementary or middle school. Sure, some of the calls are the same but there is more to it than you were likely exposed to.

What type of music do you dance to?

We dance to a variety of music, anything with a four count beat can be used. We dance to modern music, pop music, oldies, county music & gospel music. We've danced to songs by the Beatles, Adele, Lee Greenwood, Elvis, Garth Brooks and Lady Gaga to name a few.

Do I have to wear one of those puffy dresses?

No. Some dancers wear traditional square dance outfits while others wear longer prairie skirts and blouses. Some conventions will request formal square dance attire. The most important thing is comfortable shoes.

What expense is involved?

The lessons are $120 for all 14 lessons. You can also pay $45 over 3 months. Once you learn to dance, you can attend club dances which are $9/night or join a club for $20/month or $50/quarter which includes weekly dances.

What happens if I miss a lesson?

We will be be emailing all the calls taught each lesson night so you can practice or study those calls. If you have to miss a lesson, this will help you know which calls to study and work on to stay current with the lessons.
