We typed our group's name too quickly. But the typo got us thinking about what a square dance would look like if it had a French accent.
Even though all square dances are called in English, we wondered if dancers would wear Paris fashions (we hope)? Will someone explain the French origins of square dance terms like promenade, allemande, and do-si-do? (You can pretty much count on that.)
We don't know if our caller or cuer have any French ancestry but we'll find out! Larry Fruetel will start calling Mainstream tips at 7 pm and Sarah Klaphake will cue rounds between tips until 9. (Owing to scheduling conflicts, this will be Sarah's last dance with us for a while. Please come by and say hi.)
Spares and Pairs dances Mainstream and offers round dances on the second Thursday of each month, from 7 pm to 9 pm. Our Dance Listings page tells you about our upcoming dances.
We are at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, Minnesota. Parking on east side of the building is closer to the room in which we dance.
Singles, couples, and families are welcome. Come visit us!
