Well we now have 6 square dance lessons under our belts & are having a blast. Having had lessons at a younger age, I knew it would be fun. It took me about 3 years to finally convince Larry to just go for a try & know he is really having a good time & doing very well I might add. He found a website that has all the basic moves & their definitions so we can study them. The first couple of lessons where fun & kinda slow, but now... whew!! We are dog tired when we get thru with those 2 hours... what great exercise it is which is why I wanted to do this anyway... Can't wait to get my first square dance dress... They are so fun to wear!!! As for me, I clog on Mondays also... Having a great time with that also. We learned our first full dance last Monday & I think I did pretty good. I'll get my shoes back tonight with the taps on them & can practice better here at the house. Having a blast with it all & getting lots of exercise to boot... can't beat that!!!

I know how much fun it can be. Having gone through lessons twice, I really enjoyed them, But!!! when you go to a square dance and dance with dancers, boy, it gets fast and you have to think fast.
Duane and I took lessons in 1962 and again in 1972. We had the same caller both times and he was great. Denise took lessons in 72 also while she was in high school.
Have a blast kids. It is fun and you meet the nicest people.
Are you dancing out west of town? We know people that go there.
I remember square dancing way back in 5th grade, but have not taken lessons or actually gone anywhere they were dancing since then.
Good for you two to be enjoying something together and something that is good for you... the exercising part!!
Hope you continue to enjoy it and don't forget to take a few pictures! :)
that is so cool! I'm so glad you guys are doing that and enjoying it! it sounds like a lot of fun!
my grandparents used to square dance, and my sister and I would play "dress up" in my grandmother's square dancing dresses...I loved the poofy skirts!
Mom: I guess the first time yall took lessons was at the old half circle army place. I had forgotten about that. And yes... lot of mind exercise also!!!
Donna: Yes, at North Star 8. There are alot of really nice people there. Hopefully pics will follow.
Laura: I can hardly wait to get my "poofy" skirt!! That is one of the fun parts about this. Maybe pics will follow. :)
I STILL just cant picture dad out there dancing!!! I can't wait till yall have some kind of dance that we all can come watch...until that point...I think dad just goes and watches you ;)
In 1962 we took lessons at a church building out around Capitol Plaza, the club danced at the Army National Guard Amory Building. I finaly remembered why we quit. I was expecting Melissa in 1965/66. We didn't start back until 1972 when you took lessons with us.
