Our next dance

Thursday, July 10: Hot! Hot! Hot!

It's July and it (probably) will be hot out. Come and dance in air-conditioned comfort with us, rain or shine!  Wear the summer attire you dare. Or just come in your favorite square dance outfit. We'll start Mainstream dancing at 7 pm with Larry Fruetel. Doug Brodeen will cue round dances between tips. .

Now with more square dancing!

We're now dancing during days! Please join us on the second Sunday of each month.   Our next Sunday dance is on July 13, 2025. 


From 2:15 to 3:15 pm we'll offer a Mainstream Brush-Up. Angels are welcome to get in a little more dancing as dancers hone their craft. Please note: these sessions are for students who have completed lessons; all Workshop dancers must have been exposed to all 68 Mainstream calls. Others are welcome to watch (for free).


At 3:15, the workshop stops and, after a short break, the Mainstream dance begins. Iit will run until 5. We'll keep it moving with lots of tips and shorter breaks. 


These dances will be held at our usual location (the Bloomington Center for the Arts). Sorry; we're not yet offering round dancing on Sundays..
