Square dance club

The club's primary goal is to promote and advance square dance as a recreational activity.

Associations, partnerships and other cooperative ventures have become increasingly more important to square dance clubs.

Membership in square dance clubs seems to have peaked in the late '70s and early '80s, and has gradually decreased since that time.

Providing classes and training opportunities is the main activity for the majority of square dance clubs.

Depending on the length of the individual class and how often one meets, it can take a half year or longer to learn the full program.

This is a way of bringing public attention to the club, with the hope of recruiting more members.

Employment of square dance callers is a key means of securing competent dancers for the club, and for the activity as a whole.
