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.
Fall 2023
We will kick off our Fall Session with a Free Open House on Thursday, July 27, 2023 from 6:45pm to 8:50pm at South Austin Recreation Center located at 1100 Cumberland 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 from 6:45pm to 8:15pm through December 14, 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, December 19, 2023 at our weekly Waterloo Squares Club dance.
