All dances at Saint Stephens Church

--

Used to be that square dancing could be found in almost any American city or town, danced by young and old, black and white, urban and rural folks alike. Today, it's making a comeback as people re-discover the joy of a foot-stomping, rollicking, barn-shaking dance party.

Never been square dancing before? Don't worry! It's easy to learn and requires no previous experience. You don't need to bring a partner or wear any special getup. We always have live music and a caller to walk you through the dances.

BOOKING INFO: Please email dcsquaredance@gmail.com if you are interested in calling or playing. Please note that we feature primarily old-time string band music.

VOLUNTEER INFO: This dance is entirely volunteer-run. We need your help to make it happen! Please come early or stay late to help set up and clean up the hall. If you have specific skills or interests, we would love to have your help. Please email dcsquaredance@gmail.com for more info.

We are a part of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington (www.fsgw.org). And we couldn't do it without the help of the wonderful folks at Saint Stephens Church. Thanks to all of you!

WHO ARE WE? The Collective is a group of music and dance lovers who volunteer their time to make the dance happen. We are: Janine Smith, Bradley Kennedy, Gabe Popkin, Kaythi Han, Stan Fowler, Michael Lyons, Brent Feito, Andrew Hunt, Dave Hauver, Anna Purinton and Joel Bluestein.

The DC Square Dance is not affiliated with Saint Stephens Church. We simply rent the space from them to put on the dance. However, we love them dearly!
