New Year, New Fun! Kennesaw Square Dealers to Host Free Modern Square Dance Party Feb 4

Looking for a fun way to get moving, meet new people, and take a break from screens in the new year? Kennesaw Square Dealers has an invitation: Put down your phone, turn up the music, and discover a whole new side of square dancing.

The club will host a free modern square dance party on Thursday, Feb. 4, 2027, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Ben Robertson Community Center, 2753 Watts Drive in Kennesaw. Everyone is welcome, with no dance experience or partner necessary.

Forget the stereotypes. Today's square dancing isn't limited to traditional fiddle music and cowboy boots. Kennesaw Square Dealers brings dancers together with an exciting mix of music spanning generations and genres, from classic rock and country to pop hits and contemporary favorites.

And here's the best part: Newcomers can begin dancing to songs they already know and love within minutes.

Modern square dancing combines physical activity, mental stimulation, and social interaction in an upbeat, welcoming environment. Dancers move to the music, follow instructions from a caller, and work together in groups of eight to complete a series of coordinated movements.

“It's exercise in disguise and a refreshing alternative to another evening spent staring at a screen,” said club caller Shawn Butler.

The free Feb. 4 party also serves as an introduction to the club's 14-week beginner class series, which begins Thursday, Feb. 11. Classes meet every Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Ben Robertson Community Center.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of modern square dancing in a friendly, supportive setting, building confidence and skills while enjoying music, laughter, and new friendships.

Whether you're looking for a new hobby, an enjoyable way to stay active, or simply something different to do in 2027, Kennesaw Square Dealers offers an opportunity to discover that square dancing is much more than you might expect.
