CLUBS
People who like to square dance a lot often become club square dancers. Most clubs, worldwide, dance Plus Level square dancing. The first three levels of modern square dancing are Basic, Mainstream and Plus, the three together comprising about 120 calls. I call for two weekly Plus clubs, the Redwood Rainbows and Circle'n Squares of Santa Rosa.
Some hard-core Advanced dancers go on to Challenge dancing, and I call C-1 (Basic Challenge) for
the Sebastopol Spinners.
One of the more dynamic facets of the modern square dance activity has been the rise in recent years of gay and lesbian clubs, and I call for one such group, the North Bay's first gay and lesbian square dance club, the largest club in the Bay area, and largest predominantly lesbian square dance club ever – the Redwood Rainbows.
CLASSES
Most clubs sponsor classes from time to time.
Please check with me or with the clubs for up-to-date information.
