Circle left - Swing your partner - Promenade

You already know plenty of square dance calls. You will be learning more each evening. Our class caller/teacher has been calling for square dancers for decades, and has taught hundreds of us to square dance.

We welcome couples, families, and singles. We recommend you bring a partner to dance with. We encourage you to bring your friends along as well. Dress in comfortable clothes and shoes.

We dance at Ellison Hall, Framingham, MA

Almost all our classes are held in Ellison Hall which is associated with the Plymouth Church at 87 Edgell Road, Framingham, MA. This is located on the East side of Edgell Road, approximately one quarter mile north of Route 9 in Framingham Center.

Note: for late-SEP and early-OCT we will hold our beginner dances at Scott Hall which is associated with the UU First Parish Church at 24 Vernon Street - directly across Edgell Road from our usual hall.

If you would like more information,  contact us  by e-mail. We will respond to your questions promptly. For a faster response, call 508-478-8064.

Square Dance Lessons

- see flyer

This is your opportunity to discover the fun of square dancing. If you agree that square dancing is for you, we will teach you the BASIC level of square dancing, in a two hour class on Thursday evenings.

The price for the each twelve week session is just $69 per person. Introductory Basic/Mainstream level lessons from Thursday, 23-SEP-2010 and run through 16-DEC from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM. If there is sufficient interest, more advanced (Mainstream and Plus) level dancing instruction will be offered starting at 9:00 PM. An additional twelve week session will be available from JAN-2011 through MAR-2011.

The Fairs 'n Squares subsidizes classes for beginners in order to expand the square dancing community and to share our enjoyment with others. The fee charged helps to defray a small portion of our costs for the dance hall and the daance instructor. The more people dancing, the more fun it is for all involved.

Square Dancing - a World Wide activity

Each dance starts with four couples arranged on each side of a square. The caller directs the movement of the dancers by calling out the name of the next dance step to be performed: Dosido, swing your partner, circle left, promenade. Square dancers learn the movements associated with each of the 'calls'.

We offer Class Level Dances so that you can learn and practice  these movements. In addition to dancing at every session, you will also be learning more square dance calls and movements. The fun starts with the first class that you attend.

Come and Join the Fun

Our Square Dance classes are intended for teaching adults to dance. Teenagers are also welcome. Younger children are welcome to learn square dancing while accompanied by their parents. In all cases, the learning experience will be better if you have a regular dance partner to practice with.
