About us

Well, we ended the 2025 dance program with a bang. We always have a mix of brand new dancers and experienced dancers, but on Sunday, November 23 - the last dance of 2025 - 2/3 of the dancers had never tried Modern Square Dancing before! I think they left with a good feeling about it, too. We had a lot of fun - especially when we danced in a Rectangle instead of a Square! "You shoulda bin there!" :-)

Anyway, with the 4th Sunday of the month in December being in the middle of Christmas celebrations, we don't dance in December. Enjoy the holidays!

Why don't you make it a New Year's Resolution to make 2026 the year you get out and try Modern Square Dancing. 99% of people who try it leave saying it was a lot more fun than they expected. You just have to try it to know. Our next dance is on January 25.

See you there!!!

Never tried Modern Square Dancing before? No problem! These dances are geared specifically to people who have never tried it but are curious to find out what it's all about. In two hours, you'll learn about 12 different square dance "calls" and I'll put them together in dances to music like Classic Rock (Bette Davis' Eyes), Top 40 Hits (Fireball), Easy Listening (The Hustle), Movie Themes (Cabaret), and so much more.

Here are some more details:

Location: Mel Baker Hal, J. A. Dulude Arena, 941 Clyde Ave.

Time: 2:30 - 4:30 (Please come a little early to sign in and pay. We want to START dancing at 2:30.)

Cost: $12 per person - payment by cash, debit, credit, or eTransfer to wendygvandermeulen@gmail.com

What to wear: Whatever you are comfortable in!! It wouldn't hurt to come with a light sweater.... The hall as a tendency to change from too-cool to too-warm at times... :-(

Shoes: Once again, whatever you are comfortable in.

Water: Take water with you - dancing is thirsty work!! :-)

If you have ANY questions, please message me or email me at wendygvandermeulen@gmail.com.

BTW, in the 4 years these dances have been held, I can't remember an event when people haven't commented on how much fun they had! You really do owe it to yourself to find out. :-)

See you Sunday, February 22!!!
