Learn to Square Dance!
Square dancing is lots of fun,
a great way to meet people, and provides enjoyable exercise for both the mind and body!
Once you have learned the basics (which for us means up through the internationally recognized Plus program),
you can dance almost every night of the week, if you wish!
There are often dances (called Hoedowns) on weekends, with even larger events
at various times throughout the year.
Our next class is planned to begin in January 2021.
The location and time will be announced as soon as they are known. If you'd like further information, please
send us a message telling how to
contact you! Both singles and couples are welcome, and you may attend either with or without a partner!

Both the class and club dance at:
- Loyola Elementary School

The Ice Cream Fling Thing!
48th Annual -- June 6, 2020
CANCELLED
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
Since 1973 local square dancers have welcomed the month of June by attending the
Ice Cream Fling Thing,
the Anniversary Dance of the Bows & Beaus.
Held the first Saturday of June, this year's dance was scheduled for June 6, 2020, with Darren Gallina calling and
Dan & Allison Drumheller leading the rounds. However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have regretfully
decided to cancel this year's dance. Please stay healthy, and look forward to returning to square dancing in the future!
