In Their Own Words

Square Dancing on the March
Two years ago a friend brought me to beginning square dance class. Since then square dancing has enriched my life by the fun I've had, friendships I've made, and club activities I've participated in. 1983 was a great year for San Francisco's three gay square dancing groups and for the newly formed national gay square dancing association. It seems like gay square dancing is coming of age.

For all your readers who are looking to meet a fun-loving, friendly group of men and women, Western Star Dancers begins another round of basic square dancing instruction on Tuesday, January 10 and 17, at the Golden Gate YMCA at 7ː30 p.m. The first two lessons are free and open to the public to allow you to decide if square dancing is for you.

The only prerequisite for square dancing is knowing your right from your left. So no matter what your age or shape, whether you;re a disco bunny or a student of the waltz, a social butterfly or a bookworm, square dancing has something to offer.

Square up or be squareǃ
