About us
Happy Summer! I write this on June 22 - officially the first day of summer and, although it is a rather cool day, we'll be complaining of the heat and humidity soon enough, I'm sure. But that doesn't keep Square Dance Ottawa from running monthly square dances!
And the June dance is just days away - June 28. As usual, every month I am excited to see how many dancers will come out to finally try the Modern Square Dancing that this group offers. So far, I have met very few of the 875 members of this group. I think it's because you really have no idea what Modern Square Dancing is even like! Suffice it to say that of the many who did make it out to at least one dance, 99% of them leave saying it was a lot more fun than they expected. You just have to try it to know.
Here's a good description of what we do:
Discover Modern Square Dancing! Curious to know what makes it modern? Unlike traditional square dancing, modern square dancing features a wide variety of music, everything from Top 40 hits and classic rock to big band, jazz, country, and more. Instead of memorizing choreographed routines, dancers learn steps and follow the Caller, who combines them in fun, ever-changing sequences. It keeps you moving, thinking, and laughing, making it fantastic exercise for both body and brain. And to top it off, the Caller doesn’t just call the moves, they sing, too! Modern square dancing is social, energizing, and whole lot of fun. Come give it a try!
Our next dance is on Sunday, June 28.
See you there!!!
