FAQs

What is Western Square Dancing?

Using a list of standard calls and prerecorded music, the caller creates an original dance by singing or speaking directions to squares of 4 couples.

Do I have to come with a partner?

No, we have many singles, both male and female, in our club.

Can I learn to square dance in one night?

You can learn enough calls in one night to do some simple dancing, but it takes a series of lessons to learn all of the calls.

Do I have to wear those frilly skirts?

No, any form of casual attire is fine however, many dancers wear western clothing, prairie skirts and broomstick skirts.

How much does it cost?

Clubs differ somewhat in their fees. Virginia Reeler membership and class costs can be found on our Membership page. Click here.
