Square Dance Social
Two left feet welcome!
This is your low-stakes opportunity to try Square Dancing. Think of this as a fun experiment in group coordination and an opportunity to engage in the most mathematical dance form ever created in the history of the Earth. No partner is needed as we'll rotate throughout, so you'll dance with a few people. We have an expert Square Dance Caller who will walk us through the moves!
Why square dancing? Because it:
Requires zero prior experience
Creates order from chaos through simple, learnable patterns
Builds physical confidence through predictable structures
Is fundamentally collaborative
Is perfectly deterministic (until it isn't)
This is an exploration of how simple rules create complex beauty and how minds and bodies can learn to work in harmony.
Bring: Comfortable shoes, curiosity, and a willingness to surprise yourself!

Our Caller for the event will be Marge Coahran! She started square dancing in September 2014 with the Toronto Triangle Squares. She attended her first caller school in July 2016, and she currently teaches the second level (Plus) class for Triangle Squares. Marge enjoys square dancing and calling because of the fun, the friends, and the intricate choreographic patterns. She is a member of the Toronto and District Square and Round Dance Association (T&D) and the Gay Callers Association (GCA). She was the fly-in committee chair for Triangle Squares’ annual dance weekend from 2017-2024.

FAQs:
Q1: I have absolutely no coordination/two left feet/negative dance experience. Is this really for me?
A1: Yes! This event is specifically for people who think they can't dance. Square dancing works because it breaks down complex movements into simple, predictable patterns. If you can follow logical instructions and are willing to move your body, you already have everything you need.
Q2: Do I need to bring a dance partner?
A2: No. This is a great place to meet new people.
