What about parking? You can park in back of the church. Enter the door off the parking lot and walk down the stairs to the basement for the dance.

Do I need a partner? While having a partner is nice, it is not required. Singles are welcomed.

Do I have to wear those fancy skirts? After you have danced for a while you may choose to wear fancy skirts or shirts, but you are not required to. Casual attire is OK. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended.

Will I be a square dancer by the end of class? You will be a square dancer on the first night of class. The more classes you attend the better you become. Join us in September as we enter the world of square dancing.
