Modern Square Dancing – Family Fun for All Ages

It's not like it used to be but it is a fun way to exercise your body and your brain. All you need is Thursday night free to dance.

Riverside Squares offers fun and laughter while learning something new.

Was your New Years Resolution to learn something new, or perhaps to get out and meet some new friends? Here is your opportunity. Square dancing - you may have had to try it when you were a young student and said 'never again' but like most things over the years, square dancing is very different now. For one thing, folks dance to all kinds of music. If you think dancers have to wear a certain kind of clothing, that too has changed.

On Thursday, January 25, the Riverside Square Dancing Club is hosting a free Introduction to Modern Square Dancing lesson at the Middleton Congregational church, 66 Maple St, Middleton, MA. Put on your dancing feet and join us from 7-9 PM for hours of fun, free snacks, water and lesson. No special shoes, clothing or partner is required. Stay and watch the regular club dancing after your lesson. Relax and enjoy meeting new people. Later, sign up for our 10 week dance series starting Feb. 1st. for $85 per person. Check us out on Facebook and RiversideSquares.org.
