How
do I get started?
The first
step requires no commitment! Spend an evening with
us at an "Open House", learn the basics, and meet
the Chesapeake Squares. Open houses are held several
times each year. No dance experience is necessary! Check back
to this page for announcements!
What
happens next?
You
have the opportunity to join a class of similarly interested
people to learn the Mainstream level of square dancing. A
professional caller will teach several new calls every class
and practice those taught previously. The learning is easy
and fun. Many of our members fondly remember the good times
in their Mainstream classes.
When
and where are dance classes held?
Recent
classes for beginning square dancers were held on Saturday
afternoons in the late summer and early fall at the Zion Church
(diagonally across from the Baltimore City Hall). The space
is air conditioned, and parking is ample.
Do
I have to attend class regularly?
Yes!
There are over 60 calls to learn (including many that are
simple & basic). New calls are taught proressively, building
on the previous lessons. Regular attendance at class helps
everyone learn at a reasonable pace while having a good time.
What
does it cost?
Class tuition is usually $75, possibly varying
some with class size. Graduating Mainstream students receive a complimentary
Club membership for a limited period following. |
