Square Dance

A live string band. Shoes landing on a wood floor to the rhythm of the music. "Dip for the oyster, dive for the pearl!" Welcome to square dancing. God made our world with music, and since he put people in it, there's been dancing. And cultures all over the world have had their own folk dances. This is ours. Square dancing is an easy dance to learn, and a caller tells you the steps throughout the song, after teaching the moves at the start. Warning: you might find it impossible not to smile while square dancing! If you're interested in carpooling, please let me know by 11/19 (Thursday). We would leave from the Zeeland Park & Ride (8531 Homestead Dr, Zeeland, MI 49464) at 6pm. The original event description from Bethany Commans, caller and organizer, is below. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\* Never square danced before? No problem! Square dancing is super fun to learn and easy to catch on. Not able to bring a partner? We’ll find you one. If you've square danced before, you know how fun it is! Feel free to bring a finger food snack to share with your fellow dancers, but it's not required. Invite your friends and family! There is a cost to rent this location - and the band works hard. Please consider a suggested donation of $5 per person or $20 per family at the donation bucket by the door. Any amount is appreciated. Michigan Fiddlers Association members are providing us with live music, and if you or anyone you know would like to jam with the band in addition to dancing, feel free to bring along your acoustic instrument! Waiver for photos/video and injury liability will need to be signed by everyone who attends (provided at the door). \-\-\-\-\-\- Still concerned because you “can't dance”? Don't worry. Each dance is taught before we dance it, and the “caller” even tells you what to do WHILE you're dancing. It can't get much easier than that! Your fellow dancers will also help you along and often mistakes turn into a fit…
