To have the most FUN at this afternoon of Challenging Squares, please read below, does this describe your dancing?

  • You know how to do more than just the basic moves with confidence (Grand Square, Roll Away, Cross Trail Thru, California Twirl, Pass the Ocean)
  • You know where to be at the start of each dance phrase and how to recover from a lapse
  • You can dance and enjoy no walk through dances
  • You assist your partner and neighbor to the next move - and you have a friendly approach to it
  • You respond to confusion and missteps by others with grace, encouragement and good humor
  • It's not how long you've been dancing, it's how well you can adapt to challenging and unusual choreography!
