Learn more about square dancing

Square dancing is a traditional form of folk dance in which four couples, arranged in a square formation, perform a series of coordinated movements to lively music. Each couple dances to instructions called out by a caller, who guides them through a sequence of steps, such as promenades, do-si-dos, and swings. The patterns and formations vary, but the key is for the dancers to follow the caller's directions while staying in sync with their partner and other couples. Square dancing has a rich history in North American culture and is often done at social gatherings, festivals, or community events. It’s both a fun social activity and a great workout, promoting teamwork, rhythm, and memory skills.
