Who are Triangle Squares members? We’re everybody. So, once you learn to square dance with us, you can dance anywhere. Anything else I should know? Square dancing is called in English everywhere in the world. You get a mental vacation when you’re square dancing, because you can’t think of anything except how much fun you’re having. It’s good for my brain too? Of course! When you learn to dance, you learn a new language… for your body. It’s low impact, but it’s definitely aerobic (you really do need that extra shirt we mentioned!). It’s fun and engrossing, so you won’t even know you’re exercising. Square dancing has all of the positives and none of the negatives. Are there health benefits? Wow, yes! Dancing is great for your body and your mind. You’ll hear songs by Taylor Swift, Adele, N’ Sync, Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, Madonna, Deadmau5… etc. Not true! Yes, you’ll hear some country, but we dance to everything from pop and rock to all-time standards, with some Country and Western thrown in. What about the music? Everyone thinks that square dancing = country music. Some of the best laughs come when we break down a square. And the thing to remember is that everyone makes mistakes, even experienced dancers. A caller will tell you what to do, and you walk in patterns. What if I can’t dance? No problem! It’s really walking, not dancing. That’s why square dancing is such a great way to make new friends. You’ll be dancing with different people all the time. What if I don’t have a partner? You don’t need one. We suggest that you bring an extra shirt or a T to change into, if necessary.

But you’ll find that square dancing is very energetic, so it’s a good idea to wear lightweight clothing, or layers. Is there a dress code? No! Casual dress is fine. To find out about these events, get on our mailing list here.

We also hold intro sessions for prospective dancers. Do I have to wait until September to dance? No! We sometimes start a second class in February if there are enough dancers ready to sign up. Club dances are usually 2 to 2.5 hours long, and (usually) cost $5. Fees are paid in two installments (one in September, one in February).
