Austin, Texas
Basic Mainstream Classes
We are excited to once again be offering Basic/Mainstream Lessons here at Waterloo Squares. Our instructor / caller will be Gary Bible from Liberty Hill, Texas. Gary has been involved in square dancing for many years and dancers appreciate his enthusiasm and personal commitment for making square dancing fun for all. Gary is in the Texas Square Dance Caller Hall of Fame.
Spring 2023
We will kick off our Spring Session with a Free Open House on Thursday, January 26, 2023 from 7:00pm - 8:30pm at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church located at 3525 Bee Caves Road, Austin, Texas. Teens and adults (couples or singles) are welcome and no experience or partner is required. The first night is absolutely FREE so you have nothing to lose. For those who wish to continue after the first night, we will have lessons every Thursday night until May 18, 2023. During this time you will learn all the Basic / Mainstream calls; exercise both body and mind while making some new friends. Dancers who demonstrate a clear understanding of all the calls will graduate on Tuesday night, May 23, 2023 at our weekly Waterloo Squares Club dance.
