How to Choose Your Class

  • Try a sampler: Most studios offer drop-in rates before committing.
  • Check footwear: Leather soles or square dance shoes prevent sticky spins.
  • Ask about “angles” vs. “rounds”: Some groups focus on specific styles.

Pro tip: Woodmere’s annual Square Dance Fest every September is the perfect place to test-drive classes—many studios offer free taster sessions!
