General FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about our square dance classES:

  1. Who’s teaching?
    Classes will be taught by our club caller, Allan Hurst. He will be assisted by experienced dancers, called "angels", who will pair up with students to help ensure a fun and successful class.

  2. How do I register?

    Just show up on the announced first night’s date and time! Our existing club members will check in at the door as usual. Students can check in at the door and pay the class fee.

  3. I don't have someone to dance with!
    In LGBTQ+ square dancing, you don't need to bring a dance partner. Just bring yourself and a smile. We'll pair you up with angels and other students so you'll get to dance with different folks in every tip!

  4. But I want to dance with someone specific?!
    For purposes of learning, we strongly suggest that students pair up with an angel whenever possible. However, if you prefer to dance with the same person repeatedly, that’s OK, too.

  5. What about food?
    We generally provide light snacks and water. Feel free to bring snacks to share if you like.

  6. How should I dress?
    There's no “dress code” in LGBTQ+ square dancing. Traditional square dance clothing is not required.
    Instead, like other LGBTQ+ clubs, we focus on comfort.
    Dress in loose clothing that allows you to move around easily and comfortably.
    Wear sensible shoes that are comfortable for standing and walking. Some folks like to wear especially thick socks for dance classes, to cushion the feet. Jeans and t-shirts are just fine, as are sweats, skirts, shorts, and slacks. Please, no strong fragrances.
