About Lessons
Rancheros Square Dance Club offers lessons that are designed to teach students all Basic and “Mainstream” calls. The lessons are held on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8:30 PM. Since the lessons involve building up the student’s repertoire of calls, it is important that you plan to attend the lessons consecutively each week.
Mainstream calls are taught from Thursday, October 10th, 2024 to early February. PLUS calls are taught from mid-February to end of April.
A review for those who missed the prior week is held Thursday from 6:15 PM to 7PM to practice calls learned the preceding week(s).
You are invited to come and dance with us on Sunday evenings from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM for PLUS. We have a live caller. Just contact us to get our location for the evening as it can vary slightly. Look in the Ranch member directory under Rebecca Williams for phone, text, and email.
Why Square Dancing?
Square Dancing is the Original American Dance … It provides exercise and fun to thousands of dancers throughout the United States and the world.
Square Dancing has Significant Health Benefits.
Square Dancing is a BRAIN-POWER activity. How, so you ask?
Learning new moves activates brain motor centers that form new neutral connections.
Dancing also calms the brain’s stress response.
REALLY. Don’t take our word for it.
It’s FITNESS at its best. Some folks will even comment on how much exercise they are getting in an evening of square dancing, unaware of the actual results the activity is providing for them. With square dancing, you are exercising the brain and the body simultaneously. You are getting a real work out without even realizing it because it is so much fun. Square dancing is a great cardiovascular exercise. Movement to music is melodious to the mind.
