Learn to Square Dance in Adelaide

After the success of last years come and try events, we are holding another one this year on Sunday 21^st March commencing 2.00 PM with a BBQ ate 5.00 PM

Our poster states Yes We Mean You; and we certainly do.  What do they do at a square dance?  This come and try event is for anyone who wants to know more about square dancing, or are unsure if it is their sort of pastime.  Anyone can attend, bring your whole family.

Generally children above the age of 8 can participate; all they need to do is listen to what Jeff our caller tells them to do.  Children below this age can sometimes have a go; it all depends on their concentration span.

This come and try event will be held as a precursor to our new 2010 learners classes which will commence on Thursday 27^th May 7.30 at our learners venue in the hall next to Kensington Gardens Uniting Church, Brigalow Avenue, Kensington Gardens

If you can’t come to the Sunday event, then come along on Thursday 13^th or Thursday 20^th May at 7.30 PM to our Brigalow avenue venue for a free introductory dance.  There will not be a BBQ , but we will supply some tea coffee cordial and perhaps a sandwich or two for supper.  If you like you can come to both nights absolutely free of charge.

We hope to see you there, please contact us if you can via the top bar (ContactUs) on our our main web page or by phone (this will help us with our catering arrangements).

From Thursday 4th February 2010, we will be dancing in the Kensington Gardens Church Hall in Brigalow Avenue Kensington Gardens.  Brigalow avenue is a turning on the North side of Kensington Road east of Glynburn Road. 

If in the past you approached Kensington Park Uniting Church hall from the west the city), just keep driving past, cross over the traffic lights at Glynburn Road, and through the pedestrian crossing lights.  Brigalow avenue is the last turning on the left before the roundabout, if you reach the roundabout, go round it back the way you came from then take the first on the right.  Go along Brigalow avenue, through the cross road and you will locate the hall on the West  (left hand side) about 3/4 the way between Kensington Road and the Parade .  Park in the netball courts in front of the hall (door entry is on the south end of the hall.

The hall has a nice floor with a separate break out supper room adjacent to the kitchen.  It is smaller than our old hall but will comfortably hold 4 or 5 squares (we could squeeze in 6), considering our learners classes have maxed out at 4 squares, this is a great place for learning.

Next Thursday, I will put the following sign on the door to our old venue enroute to Brigalow.  Please click on the image with your mouse pointer to enlarge the picture, then click on the enlarged picture to make even bigger.

We have now had a couple of “come and try” events with a BBQ thrown in.  Those who came along enjoyed themselves immensely.  If you missed out and would still like to see if square dancing is for you, then you have a couple of chances left to find out. 

On Thursday evenings 9^th and 16^th July we have a free come and try as a lead in to learning all the moves.  Absolutely zero dancing experience and no confidence is almost essential.  So come along and see if you like square dancing.  Sorry there is no BBQ, but we will throw in some light supper.

For more details see our two advertisements below (click on each image to enlarge).

SQUARE DANCING ?

This is not really “dancing” (as with fancy steps) its good healthy cardio-vascular exercise; great fun and a good tonic for you your family and friends.  Suitable for anyone prepared to listen to the caller’s instructions and walk at a brisk pace (if in doubt, check with your doctor).  We have found that children generally need to be 8 or more years of age, because they need sufficient concentration to listen to and follow the caller’s instructions.

The Wild Frontier Square Dance Club Inc was formed in 1973 by our square dance caller Jeff Seidel.  Since that time learner’s classes and weekly square dances have been regularly held in the same hall, located behind the Uniting Church, 286 Kensington Road (opposite the Chelsea Cinema).  Jeff still remains our resident caller and it is fair to say that he is one of the leading callers in Australia.
