Square Dancing

Many years ago we had a good friend named Martha who was also an elementary school principal at the time. We were visiting her and her husband (Tubby) in 1978 and they invited us to join them at their square dance club for a party. We joined them for that evening at a local clubhouse where we met several other friends of ours about our own age.- young.

After we arrived all the prepared food was served, and we visited and had great fellowship with all these newfound friends. After the meal, all the tables and chairs were moved to the sides of the room and the caller appeared with his 45 rpm records of country music and his P. A. system. We had no idea how to square dance so we just became "wall-flowers" who just sat back to observe the dancing and "point and grin".

All the members arranged themselves in groups of eight in the form of squares and the fun began. We had only seen this activity on TV before, so the live rendition of this was quite interesting to us. We thoroughly enjoyed the music, the fun, and the dancing along with the caller's creativity on the microphone. We decided at that time that we just may be interested in learning how to do this since we loved country music and fellowship such as this.

Sure enough, lessons were being offered by another caller for non-dancers. We signed up for these lessons as soon as possible. We now have enjoyed this weekly activity for over 25 years. We have traveled all over the country along with many other lovers of this huge dancing party. We still love to go occasionally.
