Comments About The Dances:

• Swing & Ballroom
  • You probably won't feel comfortable unless you know some basic ballroom steps; i.e. East Coast Swing, Fox Trot, Cha Cha, Waltz. (You can usually adequately "fudge it" with Country Western steps.)
• Contra Dancing
  • Similar to Square Dancing. "The contra dance form typically starts with a long line of couples facing each other. A caller provides instruction and directions. As various figures (many similar to those in square dancing) are completed, a couple progresses down the line to the end, then back up to the top, then down again."
• Country Western
  • You won't feel comfortable at these unless you know the steps. Most groups teach some beginner steps at the start of the session.
• Singles Dances
  • No special dance skills required to attend these dances. Dances are typically a mixture of freestyle social dancing (fast dance, slow dance) to D.J. music of the 50's to the 90's.
• Square And Round Dancing
  • You won't feel comfortable at these unless you know the steps. These are probably the most demanding as far as training required. Square and round dancing are actually totally different. Round dancing is similar to ballroom dancing, except the dances hve a cuer and the patterns are choreographed.
