Learn to dance!

Dancing is often seen as an intimidating activity. Some people watch experienced square or round dancers, hear the music, the calls/cues and think, "This is far too complicated for me! I could never learn how to do that." This is why we have lessons - to learn the moves in a fun and forgiving environment. There is a progression for learning square dance. "B-51" are the first 51 Calls. These are the groundwork for everything else in square dance. After B-51, we have "Mainstream". This adds an additional 18 Calls. Mainstream is the minimal level most square dance clubs want you to know to attend their dances. After Mainstream, we have "Plus". This is an additional 31 Calls. Most clubs advise new dancers spend a year dancing Mainstream before attempting Plus.

The Valley Squares offer these lessons at various times through the year. Our general square dance lesson timeline: B-51 (January-March), Mainstream (March-May) and Plus (September-December). Our general round dance lesson timeline: Two-step (September-December) and Waltz (January-May). See our Calendar for specific dates and times.
