Why Do People Love to Square Dance?
Square Dancing is fun!  It's great physical and mental exercise.  There's a friendly atmosphere at Square Dances, so naturally, Square Dances are a great place to meet people and make new friends. 

What is Square Dancing?
A Square Dance begins with four couples standing in a square formation.  Calls or instructions are given to the dancers by the Caller. Two dances make up a "Tip".  Usually the first dance is "Patter." This means the Caller gives the dancers verbal instructions as they dance to music.  The second dance is usually a singing call.  The Caller sings to the music and mixes the Square Dance calls with the lyrics of the song. 

Learning to Square Dance.
Square Dance Lessons are offered annually by local square dance clubs.  The Fort Collinader's Mainstream Lessons begin in the fall of each year (see below for details.)  Each lesson lasts approximately two hours.  You'll be surprised at how easy it is! 

Square Dance All Over the World!
Once you learn the basic Square Dance calls, you can square dance any where in the USA or any where in the world where Square Dances are held.  You can dance in Japan, the Philippines or Europe and the calls and moves will be the same.  And, no matter where you dance, the calling will be done in English! 

Square Dance Activities
There are regularly scheduled Square Dances in Ft. Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Longmont, Lyons, Denver, and throughout the state.  There are also Square Dance Weekends, National and State Square Dance Conventions, Square Dance Cruises, and Square Dance Camping Organizations.  Come join the fun.
