That's because square dancing really is super fun. Take some Square Dancing Lessons at the Douglass Community Center this November and find out for yourself.

Square Dancing

Square dancing is an American type of dancing that dates to the 1700s, possibly even earlier. It's sort of a combination of folk dances from all over Europe. French dances were especially popular after the American Revolution, when British things were shunned. This is why square dancing is full of French terms like "promenade" and "do-si-do." Historians have traced the roots of square dancing to Kentucky! That means you aren't just learning how to square dance. You're celebrating the state's history.

Learn how to square dance at the Douglass Community Center on Thursdays from 5:15 to 6:15 pm. You'll learn all the different terms and movements of square dancing, a centuries-old activity that's still lots of fun today. The community center is at 2305 Douglass Boulevard. That is in the large Highlands community, which is just blocks away from Strathmoor Village. In the midst of a community that's celebrated for its quirkiness, Strathmoor Village is full of beautiful traditional architecture and stately, classic good looks.
