CrossTrailers Square Dancers

Join us for square dancing on Thursdays at 7:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall. The various square dance steps are based on the steps used in traditional folk dances and social dances of the various people who migrated to the USA. Some of these traditional dances include Morris dance, English Country Dance, and the quadrille. Square dancing is enjoyed by people around the world, and people around the world are involved in the continuing development of this dance. New members must have lessons. Beginner classes are offered occasionally throughout the year. Contact Sydna Martin
