Frequently Asked Questions

What is Square Dancing?

Like we said, it is fun and fellowship set to music. But, there are a bunch of reasons to square dance. . .  like getting away from that computer you're sitting at.

What should I wear?

Wear whatever you want to the lessons each week. Most people come in jeans/shorts/etc.

About halfway through the year you will start going to regular dances in addition to the classes. At the dances we see everything from jeans to fancy western outfits for the men. The women prefer to wear those fun square dance dresses that look so pretty when they twirl, but most any dress works at a square dance.

With many special theme dances throughout the year, a lot of us wear theme-related costumes too.

"But I can't dance." Someone once said it should be called "square walking" rather than "square dancing" because you mainly walk in patterns from one place to another. Everyone messes-up at one point or another which leads to laughing and working together to get back on track.
