Square Dance
Classes Offered
By Area Clubs
One of the marvelous
things about square dancing
is that although it is a
traditional American
activity, it is as modern as
today and as fresh and as
challenging as tomorrow.
Today’s square dance
bears little resemblance to
the old-time dance - and for
very good reasons. Instead
of the bams, dances are now
held in the area’s nicest
buildings civic
auditoriums, church halls,
parks and recreation
buildings, and in air con
ditioned private halls.
The music is no longer the
squeaky fiddle and the
nasal twang of the man
calling the figures. Today
more than 35 specialized
recording companies turn
out perfect accompaniment
for the square dancer, using
the best of the modem and
contemporary tunes as well
as the ever popular classics.
To its everlasting credit,
square dancing is a couple
activity and is the perfect
recreation for married
couples. Singles should have
a partner to participant,
although there are many
groups designed for “singles
only”. Square dancing in
volves the entire family - It
is not unusual to see two or
more generations dancing
together.
Square dancing is a
“Learn here - dance
everywhere” proposition.
Dancing styles and calls are
much the same the world
over.
In the Albemarle area,
there are a number of
square dance clubs, and at
various times each club
sponsors classes. If you are
interested in learning more
about square dancing and
when classes begin, call 482-
7139 or 482-3987 after 6 P.M.
or write to P. 0. Box 763,
Edenton, N.C. 27932.
