Square dancing is easy, healthy, and fun. The friendships are as much fun as the dancing. Your caller sends in plays for your coed team to successfully run the caller’s route.
Dancing starts immediately with simple, easy to understand moves. Craig Abercrombie brings high energy and makes square dancing fun! The lessons progress from week to week. Dancers self-evaluate when to move to the next level.
The Hoppers offer lessons at three levels: Basic, Mainstream, and Plus. It takes 8 to 16 weeks to complete each level. You may repeat a level as many times as you want before advancing to the next level.
The schedule for Monday evening lessons is:
6:30 Plus
7:30 Basic & Mainstream
How to Learn Square Dancing in 20 Hours Modeled on a TED Talk video titled “The first 20 hours — how to learn anything”.

Bring your family and friends! Move to the music!
