How to Learn to Square Dance
and Become a Rainbeau!
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 DETAILS:
OPTIONAL: Open House - September 2, 2025 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 begins September 9, 2025. Contact Us! to ask questions, reserve your spot and/or receive new class announcements.
Classes occur at the Washington Street Community Center (809 South Washington Street, Denver).
The cost of the Introductory Class is only $110 for the entire 14-week class of Tuesday evening lessons. That is less than the $8 nightly dance fee, over 14 weeks, assessed for non-member dancers. For your convenience and affordability, the fee may be paid in two $55 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 new Intro Level Dancing quicker to learn and easier to master!

IF YOU ARE A CURRENT SQUARE DANCER and would like to join the Rainbeaus, please attend one of our dances on Tuesday (Social Square Dance[SSD] and Plus) or Thursday (Advanced and Challenge 1). The Rainbeaus also offer Open Houses to get to know the Rainbeaus and learn about the opportunities to dance with us. The Rainbeaus also offer occasional outdoor and masked dance opportunities. Please bring proof of vaccination the first time you attend (have your mask handy just in case!). Please ‘Contact Us!’ for information! Check the Calendar to confirm all dance dates.
If you would like to observe square dancing prior to the Open House, please contact our Recruitment and Retention Coordinator for information to visit one of our weekly dances or to submit your interest in our forthcoming introductory dance opportunities!
