Welcome to Square & Round Dancing in South Paris & Norway, Maine
Square dancing is a fun and healthy activity you can do all year long. It takes no experience to visit a workshop and see what the fun is all about.
Wednesday evenings, 6:30-7:45 PM, Swingin’ Bears Square Dance Club invites singles, couples, and/or family to try square dancing.
A new class for beginners will start September 21, 2022. The enrollment will be open for two weeks. The first lesson will be free. To join in the fun you get 10 weeks (September - December) for only $6 a week. Club caller Ray Hilton will be teaching the Social Square Dancing program. Club members will be there to assist in the square with the beginners.
We meet at American Legion Post 72, 12 Church Street, South Paris, ME 04281 (parking behing the Legion Hall). We do not meet on school snow days.
Square dancing is for all ages. It is a great way to relax and have fun as well as to meet people and make new friends. We want to introduce this activity to everyone in the area that might be looking for recreation during the long cold winter months. We know that you will have an enjoyable and fun-filled evening. We hope that you will join us. For more information call our presidents, Dick & Joan Deans at 966-2327.
Whatever your age, young or young-at-heart or somewhere in-between, we welcome singles, couples, and families.
Workshop for experienced dancers from 7:45-9:00 PM are $6.00 per person. All new dancers, and non-dancers, are invited to stay and watch the second part of workshops. Visiting experienced dancers are welcome to join in at any workshop.
