More Information about Lessons

Square Dancing Calls

Square dancing is social dance performed to upbeat music by four couples arranged in a square formation.  The caller tells the dancers which move - or call - to perform. There are several levels to learning the calls. Our club teaches Mainstream and Plus calls. Once you are a Plus level dancer, you can dance at any club across the US and internationally!

How Long Do Lessons Take?

It is a commitment to learn to square dance but the rewards are immense and will last a life time! And lessons are a ton of fun! You should expect to graduate as a Plus level dancer in approximately 7 to 8 months. If you need to miss a class or two, we will get you up to speed upon your return.

Do I Need a Partner to Learn?

Square dancing IS a couples activity. This means that you do need a partner for lessons. If you are single, bring a friend who wants to go through the square dance experience with you! 


Each class will include "angels" who are specifically chosen experienced dancers to help the students. 

Helpful Tools

To supplement your training in class, it is recommended that you watch training videos that are available on YouTube.  Links to videos are on the Lessons page.


You can also download a free app called Taminations that provides animated visuals and definitions of the calls. The app is downloadable for PC, Android and iOS.
