It's Free Party Time for Everyone At Riverside Squares
Riverside Squares Is Throwing a Free Party Offering Pizza and an Introduction to Modern Square Dancing
Who hasn't heard of square dancing? It usually conjures up thoughts of Western music and clothing, with a hoe down theme. But that's not modern square dancing at all! Square dancing has changed with the times! Square dancing now includes any music with a good beat, and whatever clothing you are comfortable wearing, while moving at a brisk pace. Square dancing can be a great family activity. No partner is needed. Anyone who can walk briskly can learn to square dance. It's great mental and physical exercise as well as fun and social. It really helps to improve listening skills while generating smiles and laughter along the way.
Danvers has been home to Riverside Square Dance Club for over 50 years. On Saturday, September 7, they are offering pizza and a free 1 hour mini-introduction to modern square dancing. [This is prior to the club's regular monthly dance - which new folks are invited to watch, to learn more about how to participate.] It all takes place at 7:00 pm at the All Saints Episcopal Church, 13 Holten St., Danvers. Another free opportunity to be introduced to modern square dancing is on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at the same location. It's an evening for beginners to dance and enjoy tasty food offered by the club. Club members will help new people learn the moves. Come to both or just one to find out if you want to learn more, and join in the fun. Learning the lingo and moves continue each Wednesday, starting September 18, from 7:00 to 8:30 (10 weeks; $85 per person).
