Learn to Square Dance
with the Rainbeaus!
Physically speaking, a dancer should be able to easily walk at a brisk pace for 3 minutes. You may be surprised at how much aerobic exercise one can get from square dancing. It's a great way to rack up those steps on your pedometer or fitness tracker!
INTRODUCTORY CLASS:
OPTIONAL: Open House - September 1, 2026 at the WSCC. Along with a fun - and free! - evening of learning and dancing simple square dance calls, information about the Introductory Class will be provided. Contact Us! for information or to be added to the Intro Class mailing list! Attending Open House and other welcome events is fun even if you have no interest in joining as an ongoing dancer. Attending Open House requires no commitment. Just join us to re-live those memories of middle school gym!
THE NEXT INTRO CLASS (Mainstream) begins Tuesday, September 8, 2026. Class spots are limited! Register for the class at Open House or on the first night of class to reserve your spot! Contact Us! to ask questions and/or receive new class announcements.
Classes occur at the Washington Street Community Center (809 South Washington Street, Denver), last for 14 weeks, and run from (tentatively) 6:30 to 8:00pm. There is no monetary commitment required to participate in the first night of class.
The TENTATIVE cost of the Introductory Class is only $120 for the entire 14-week class of Tuesday evening lessons. For your convenience and affordability, the fee may be paid in two $60 installments. Other payment plans and financial aid are available!
If you have previously taken a MAINSTREAM class or would like a “refresher course,” you will find the Intro Level Dancing class offers a quick way to clear the cobwebs! Those retaking the class pay a discounted fee.
