Dance Zone will offer a 12-week square dancing class beginning on Monday, September 10.  In this class you will learn the steps and moves that will allow you to dance at the basic level with square dance groups across the globe. 

Sound square?  It isn't.  Not only is square dancing an enjoyable social activity, it is also a mental challenge and physical activity (dancers walk about 2 miles during an evening of square dancing).  Plus, modern square dancing uses more interesting music and movements than its earlier styles.  And you will meet some of the nicest people on earth.

The class will run on Mondays, 6-7:30 PM, September 10-December 10.  Try it for the first two sessions (September 10 & 24).  The total cost for the class is $20 per person.  Students are encouraged to stay and dance with the more experienced dancers at the end of each lesson.  Refreshments are always served.

The class is offered at Dance Zone, 1113 Lincoln Avenue in Marquette.  Please bring shoes with clean, low-tread soles to avoid injury to knees.  Call 906-236-1457 or visit www.dancezonemqt.org for more information.
