Traditional American Square Dance - South Lyon, Michigan

Where and When: Square dances are offered in the South Lyon area of southeast Michigan (including Dexter, Ann Arbor, Novi) from September through May each year. All dances are called and taught by Dave Smith, who has been calling since 2004.No Experience Necessary: All dances are taught before being danced, so no experience is necessary. You do not need to attend any classes in order to participate in traditional square dancing (unlike "Modern Western Square Dancing", which often requires years of classes to participate).Fast Paced: However, traditional square dances tend to be fast paced and require good physical condition in order to keep pace. Please note that our traditional square dances also includes contra dancing (a type of square dancing done from lines facing rather than squares).
