New to Square Dancing?

Modern western square dancing is great fun and is good exercise for both the body and the 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 for beginners is underway. If you missed it, our next session will begin in September 2024, starting with two free fun nights so you can see what square dancing is all about. We're sure you will have a great time and will want to sign up for lessons. Check back here over the summer for the dates and further information.

Lessons are held at the Katonah Methodist Church 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.
