Why not give it a try?!
... for Fun, Friendship, & Fitness
Square dancing is a low-impact exercise
that improves muscle tone, bone density, balance, coordination, & memory skills.
Add to your daily step count:
several thousand steps, or
2-3 kilometers per night.
No dance experience or special skills
are required - if you can walk,
you can square dance!
Make new friends! in a welcoming,
healthy social environment while
having a great time. The companionship
that square dancing offers is a great
antidote to depression & loneliness.
Square dancing is a great way to
Reduce stress!
Singles & couples are all welcome...
"No partner? No problem!"
Experienced dancers help
"fill out the square".
Casual attire and comfortable footwear
are all you need.
