I square danced a lot in the '70s, also played in a CW band that cut square dance tracks for callers. Haven't kept up in 30 years, I hear it's really different now.

Welcome Shaney. I know how to square dance, just haven't done it in a long time. Bet I could catch on real quick.

Sigh I can't square dance. I took some ball room dancing classes, but had no one to practice that with so it looks like I will be forgetting that soon too.

I know that feeling synergized, I used to enjoy ballroom dancing, square dancing not so much, but its over for me now. Osteoarthritus speaks right out & says things like, "thou shall not surely dance".

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you should talk to Old Sage. He seems to have his arthritis, don't know what kind, managed.

Hi Helen here from the Highlands of Scotland I travel 200miles round trip to my square dance club in Aberdeen...been going now for three years and getting into the swing of it...We only have one class in Scotland so lucky that its near enough to me...lucky also that the club has three callers and a great crowd of friendly people love to you all from bonny Scotland

I'm a square dancer! Haven't been for awhile tho, no partner and that gets discouraging! Oh yes, it is really different than it was years ago! Takes at least 6 months to get through the lessons cause there are so many calls now! I love it and need to get going again. It is excellent exercise too!

I had a CW band too, theOnceGreat! We never played any square dances tho.

It's amazing the muscles you use, and the joints you abuse to dance!
But it is fun. hahahaha at thou shall not surely dance. Maybe you should pool dance. Dancing in a pool is fun also, altho of course you move slower and the dips can get a bit hairy.laugh
