Square dancing is a fun, social group dance where eight people (a “square”) follow directions from a caller who teaches you the moves as you go.
The caller teaches the moves and then gives live instructions during the dance—almost like a DJ who also guides you.
Most people pick it up faster than they expect. The caller teaches every move before you dance it, and beginners are guided the entire time.
Instead of two people dancing together, square dancing uses a team of four couples forming a square. You dance with the group, not just with a partner.
Styles like hip-hop, swing, or ballroom emphasize creativity or technical expression. Square dancing emphasizes teamwork—everyone working together to make the pattern succeed.
There are no competitions, no solo showcases, no judges.
The goal is:
-
laugh
-
move
-
connect
-
enjoy the music
It’s a low-pressure, welcoming activity.
Many dance styles focus on technique or partnered steps.
Square dancing focuses on:
-
teamwork
-
meeting people
-
rotating partners
-
shared success
You interact with multiple people every few minutes.
