Benefits of Square Dancing

Going to a square dance is like going to a family reunion where you like everyone! Square dancers are extremely friendly and you'll instantly feel welcome. Check out these benefits:

Easy to Learn

You don't need special skills or dance experience. If you can walk, you can learn to square dance. The steps are simple, and they are taught in a repetitive, relaxed environment. You'll learn quickly!

Helps Keep You Fit

Not only is square dancing fun, but it is great exercise. There are no complicated moves or fast-paced cardio to keep up with. But don't be surprised if you get in 10,000 steps or more during a dance!

Helps Keep You Sharp

Keeping your mind in top shape is something to strive for. Regular square dancing will keep your mind and body active. The movements are great exercise for your brain, memory, and coordination, which are important as we grow older.

Great Way to Socialize

Square dancing allows you to join a community where you can bond with others over a shared activity. For a real social experience, get in a room with actual people and start making friends in real life - all through Square Dancing!

Relieves Stress

The scientific reason why dancing has the ability to act as a stress reliever comes from the idea that when your body feels good, your mind does, too. Square Dancing is good for your psychological well-being because it makes you feel good, releases tensions, and helps relaxation and sleep.

When you’re square dancing, you will often find yourself smiling because you are having fun, you’re with friends, and laughter is a proven, effective stress reliever.
