Cane Country Squares next Come and Try Square Dancing sessions

Rum City Band Hall, 89 Targo Street

6pm - 8:30pm

Tuesday 12th of August

Tuesday 19th of August

Tuesday 26th of August

Your first night is free!

A Square Dance starts and ends with four couples forming a square. You listen to a Caller for directions and walk to the beat of the music while moving in patterns with arm turns or passing other dancers to make new formations. 

In modern Square Dancing you don't learn complete dances you learn movements. Get your step count up. Engage your mind and body as you walk to the beat of the music, listening and reacting as the Square Dance Caller calls out each movement, to complete the dance pattern as a team of eight dancers.

Open from ages 8 to active 80s.

Sessions cost $8 per person if you would like to continue with the 12 week dance program.

Meet new people.

Get your step count up. 

Engage your mind and body.

Return to dancing 2024

Our first night back for 2024 was postponed for a week while Matt was unwell.  Matt did a great job calling on Friday night, while also trying to save his voice for this weekend. For the 10th and 11th Matt is a feature caller at the 20th Anniversary of the Logan City Square Dance Centre.  We started the year on Friday 9th with two squares on the floor for part of the night. The ceiling fans ran flat out, but it was not as hot as it has been lately, so we didn't need to close up the hall to run the air conditioner. It was great to dance again and catch up with people we haven't seen since last year. Some are still away so Matt is looking for an extra angle to dance the left hand side at our Tuesday night learners group. We look forward to getting back to dancing with our learners. It may take a few weeks to finish off the SSD program before they move to the Friday night club dancing. On Fridays, Matt will teach them the extra movements that take them to the Mainstream Level....

September - November Update 2024

Our Black Friday theme night was held on the 13th of September. Normally when we all dress in the same colour, it is harder for the caller to keep track of couple positions in a square. With Matt away, Rob predominantly played recordings of Matt's singing calls that didn't come from a theme night. It was a fun night as always while making fun of comments made by Matt to people that may or may not have been in the current square dancing. Matt was back in person for our Sports theme night on the 4th of October. Outfits included paddle boarding, golf, bike riding, walking / running or general exercise, tennis and team supporters. Sandy and Jo L came as potential Wimbledon doubles champions. Jo L wanted to experience how tennis players carry their tennis balls while playing, dancing half the night with her ball tucked under her skirt. Keep an eye out for an update to our club calendar with a coming social night, graduation dance and our end of year free Christmas dance. Bring some ...

Hawaiian night, September 2023

The 1st of September was our Hawaiian theme night. In the lead up to the night Matt spoke fondly of a Hawaiian shirt he had owned that Anita had thrown out. The theme gave him an excuse to buy a new one.  The new shirt had to meet with Anita's approval for wearing around town, so it was not as bold as he would have liked. A few flower leis got Matt's bright colour fix for the night.   Outfits worn on the night by dancers included bright and bold floral prints, a couple of grass skirts and of course, Hawaiian shirts and floral leis. It was nice to have a visiting dancer and a number of spectators on the night. A few people popped in looking for a different dance at another hall on Targo St. We might see them again at our learners class starting on the 12th of September. Follow the link to our 2023 photo gallery to see more photos of the night.
