Learn Modern Western square dance. The Capital Twirlers square dance club will be offering classes in this fun and delightfully energetic activity at the Tallahassee Senior Center. You will be smiling within minutes and leave the classes laughing and want to keep on dancing.
Today’s Modern Western Square Dancing is characterized by dancers forming “squares” of four couples who dance specific movements cued by a caller, to enjoyable music including Oldies, Current favorites, Gospel, Rock and Country & Western. If your first thought is: “I can’t dance”, don’t worry about stepping on your partner’s toes, since you are usually dancing side-by-side. There’s no fancy footwork. Instead, you walk quickly in time with the music as you create formations with the other dancers in your square - following the caller’s instructions. It is not difficult to learn; and you don’t have to be graceful. The challenge is in not knowing what will come next; the next step will be “called” out to you. Each “call” or step builds on the previous ones so, with practice, you will be rewarded with the very fun and satisfying experience of square dancing. You will walk many steps at each session, so wear comfortable clothes and shoes. (No crinolines or cowboy boots needed.) Contrary to our name, we do not twirl much, so you will not get dizzy.
Wear comfortable clothes. Classes last 12 to 15 weeks. $5 per person per classPlease bring a partner if you can to get the most out of the classes. Ages 12 and up.
