square dancing is an excellent way to socialize while getting some exercise and learning a fun style of movement. It comprises four pairs of dancers, or eight people, standing to face each other in the shape of a square. The caller will instruct the dancers to move in various directions which makes for interesting choreography. Throughout the dance (known as a ‘tip’) one may interact with all eight people in the square, until finally returning home with their original partner.
