Choosing A Square Dance Club To Meet Your Needs
From beginner to advance square dancer, no matter what club you choose to join some things are for sure within the whole square dance community. You will laugh a lot and meet a lot fun, fantastic people. Whether you are single and looking to join a club for social activity or an established dance couple looking for an additional night of dancing to add to your repertoire, square dancing offers something for everyone. If you are looking for a fun method of getting a great exercise workout, square dancing is a fun way to do it.
Most squares are formed using a male/female partnership. If you are solo, there is sure to be someone to match up with. Frequently throughout a night of dancing, couples will switch partners making for an interesting change of pace.
Square dancing requires no fancy footwork. It is more like walking in rhythm and forming patterns with other dancers.
Dance moves are lead by a caller. The singing caller speaks or sings the next moves to be made by the dancers, usually within the lyrics of a recognizable song making for a more relaxed dance. The patter caller strings together all sorts of dance moves by surprise in a fast and spontaneous manner making this type of calling more lively.
The clothing is joyous as well. The women wear short dresses made wide with petticoats and the men wear checkered shirts, cowboy hats and boots.
Square dancing is great for “children” of all ages and ability. So, grab your partner and do-si-do!
