Our club sponsors weekly square dance dances for beginners who want to try square dancing and BLAST Saturdays (a daylong class) for new people who want to learn to square dance! Check out the "Learn to Dance" page.
Visitors (non-dancers or prospective dancers) are always welcome at our dances--no charge at the door! The "all-you-can-eat-finger-food" potluck buffet at every dance isn't to be missed!
In addition to dancing, we have a float in local parades, entertain at festivals or special activities, help groups learn to dance, attend plays or special events such as bingo night or a prime rib dinner or a comedy show, enjoy a boat trip on Lake Minnetonka, and sometimes go bowling or hiking.
