Welcome to Friendly Squares Dance Club. Modern western square dancing is great fun and is good exercise for both body and mind. It's an enjoyable activity for all ages and an opportunity to meet new people and make friends. The attire is casual and singles, couples, and families are welcome.
Our current session of lessons is underway. If you missed this session, our next set of lessons for beginners will begin in September 2025 with free fun nights. You can find out what square dancing is like and sign up for a set of 15 lessons. Check back here over the summer for more details.
Fun nights and lessons are held at the Katonah Methodist Church parish hall, 44 Edgemont Road, Katonah, NY.

Unlike Eastern squares, where everything you need to know is taught at each dance, modern Western square dancing has several “levels” or groups of calls. Our lessons teach the calls in the first dancing level called Mainstream and later the next level called Plus. Once you have learned the calls at one of these levels, you'll be able to attend regular dances at our club or at any other club which dances at that level.
If you'd like to take lessons, but our Katonah location isn't convenient or you aren't available on Monday evenings, consider taking lessons at another club in our area. Nearby square dance clubs include:
