active adults Square Dancing Fun This is not your grandparent’s square dancing! Today’s social square dancing teaches you the basic calls and gets you out dancing with other square dancers in the Chicagoland area with confidence and competence in a shortened time. Square dancing is also an excellent form of exercise because of all the walking you do to the beat of the music; it is social because of all the friendly people you meet. It is mentally stimulating because of the calls you learn and respond to while dancing. All these benefits go hand-in-hand with having fun! And while Country and Western have certainly been the traditional music for square dancing, today’s dancers move to a variety of music, including current rock hits. As long as the music has a good beat, it is suitable for square dancing! Singles, couples, and young people ages 12 and older are welcome to attend these beginning classes. Wear casual clothes and comfortable shoes. No class on 11/25, 12/23 & 12/30.
