Square dancing is one of our favorite activities. Larry and I square dance two to four nights a week through C3B levels. Contrary to what some others like, we enjoy wearing the beautiful Western square dance clothes! Unfortunately, though, at the upper levels, square dancers wear casual clothes and not square dance clothes!
Western Style Square Dancing is an activity that has many advantages to its participants. Among them are:
 Physical activity
Mental stimulation
Social contacts
Music and rhythm
FUN!!
Our state (Georgia) has adopted square dancing and its related types of dancing as the official folk dance of the state. If your state has not done that, please contact your state legislators!
Why not look up a square dance class starting in your city and join to learn this wonderful activity! You will find that square dancing is truly "fun and friendship set to music."
Here is a picture of the group that attended a C3B square dance recently in Kennesaw with Ben Rubright calling.

Square Dance Workshop Leaders:
Quoting from the web page for this list for workshop leaders, membership is limited to workshop leaders and those who interact closely with workshop leaders. The goal is to share experience and opinions that may assist workshop leaders in running their groups effectively. Leaders are most often non-callers but may be callers as well.
