Learn to Square Dance!
Our class is off to a great start!
You can still join us on January 27!
Our class began on January 20, 2020, with fifty-nine new dancers in attendance!
But there's still room for more, so why not join us on January 27?
Our class is on Monday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
at Loyola Elementary School,
770 Berry Avenue, Los Altos, CA.
This hall can be easily accessed from I-280 via the Magdalena Avenue exit
(see map).
Registration is still open on January 27 and that class
is FREE.
($7 per person per class thereafter).
Both singles and couples are welcome,
and you may attend either with or without a partner!
Although advance registration is not necessary, if you'll let us know how to contact you we can
send any last minute updates on the class. Just
send us a message and let us know if you need
any additional information.
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.
