We are a Mainstream and Plus square dance club serving the foothill communities of the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys.

     Bloomin’ Squares began over pizza and Cokes on May 21, 1997, in Pasadena. The five founding members got together at the urging of Kim Nagele, our first president. Our thought was to have a club whose dances were in a more convenient location. The Constitution and Bylaws were ratified on July 4, 1997 and we became a member of the IAGSDC on July 11, 1997 at the “Wheel & Deal” convention in Las Vegas.

     The first order of business was a name, and we had many before Bloomin’ Squares was selected. Pasadena Arroyo Seco Squares (PASS) was one, but we decided the initials were all wrong. Our logo was designed with the five founders in mind, thus the five flowers. Roses were chosen for the obvious reason. If you look closely, you can see the founding members’ initials in the leaves (K-K-M-D-D).

     Bloomin’ Squares is dedicated to the idea of a democratic club whose only agenda is the enhancement of square dancing. All club members are ured to attend Board meetings and voice their opinions on how to meet our goals.

     In addition to dancing, we plan social events for our members and friends. Bloomin’ Squares is a warm, friendly club where you can enjoy a variety of activities and make new friends in the process.
