HEALTH BENEFITS

THE FUN WAY 

In squares of eight across the country, Americans from senior citizens, middle age, and young adults, to children, are linking arms, sashaying and  "do-sa-doing" themselves to longer, healthier, and happier lives.  They're having a blast and also:  

*    lowering their risk of heart disease,

*    lowering their risk of diabetes,

*    lowering their risk of certain types of cancer,

*    lowering their risk of age-related memory loss,

*    lowering their risk of osteoporosis,

*    lowering their risk of depression,

*    completely eliminating loneliness!

Square dancing is easy to learn, and it's fun!

LESSONS

are held in September each year, and at other times if there are sufficient students.

Call 541-367-4151 or e-mail squarenaders@yahoo.com for information or to register.

 Perhaps you think you know square dancing from your school days.   Well, think again, because this is not the same.   You will hardly recognize Modern Western Square Dancing.  There is new music, from Golden Oldies to Elvis to current hits.  There are new dance steps, exciting new patterns that keep changing, and unique calls to learn.   No more rough dancing in a barn.   Square dancers come from all walks of life - they're just square dancers!

Modern Western Square Dancing happens in church halls, school halls, dance halls, resorts and cruise ships.   Square dancers can travel to new places all over the world.  You will find square dance clubs in most countries of the world including Sweden, Germany, Japan (they dance to English calling even if they don't speak it!), England, Australia, and so on ....

Learn to dance and a whole new world of opportunities for fun and fellowship can open up for you!

Square dancing is friendship

set to music!
