Even the uninitiated can feel at home with quick instruction in Western square dancing with a live caller at the Intro to Square Dancing Open Houses. Come alone or bring a partner. And make sure to dress comfortably – you’ll be moving all evening. You'll learn all about Modern Western square dancing, and many of the Basic/Mainstream calls and meet many of our members. Bring your friends. Light refreshments will be served. Admission is free!

Join us in August for our Annual Barn Dance, and regular Open House Intro to Square Dancing Sessions in September. Classes begin in October with Graduation and Prom in May. You need not have attended any of the Introductions or Open Houses to participate in the classes.

The Basic/Mainstream Square Dance Program consists of learning about 68 standardized calls, which prepares you for dancing with any square dance club in the world (See the International Association of Gay Square Dance Clubs "IAGSDC").

For these events and all of our classes, no partner or experience is necessary, and everything you need to know will be taught by a world-renown square dance caller.
