There is one thing that all members of SaddleBrooke Squares have in common
…
We Love to Dance!
SaddleBrooke Squares Square Dancing Club is committed to providing an opportunity to dance to all members and developing members at all levels.
From our classes, with innovative teaching techniques that build square dancers out of rank beginners and provide a solid foundation to past dancers looking for a full review …
To our “Club Level” workshops and dances, where experienced Plus-level square dancers enjoy challenging workshops and festive Plus dances at a lively pace, tune up for dancing at festivals, and occasionally get a rush from a “hot hash” …
To our “Party Nights” where everyone in SaddleBrooke Squares (class included) mixes and mingles, laughs and dances, all with one goal in mind … to just have fun.
To have fun is the only real reason to square dance in the first place. So...
Check out the table below to see what we've got for you. Then come join us for the fun.
There’s a Place for Everyone

Special Teaching Assistant Program
| If you are … | You may benefit from … | Notes … |
| (8) Looking for a new challenge, love to mentor and teach new dancers | Teaching Assistant (TA) The Class Coordinator schedules TAs to serve on a rotating basis, with unassigned periods designed to make sure you can enjoy your own dances, free of all teaching assignments. |
A TA Selection committee handpicks Teaching Assistants from the club at large. Criteria for selection include dance proficiency at the Plus level, people skills, and a willingness and ability to set up formations and walk class members through any of the calls in the Mainstream and Plus Programs. Additional considerations: number of TAs selected will depend on size of class. Note: The TA program is not a place to learn or polish your own skills. - To learn or review with all the benefits of class members, see (2) above. - If you’ve mastered the class and just need more floor time, see (4) & (5) above. |
