If you are interested in learning to square dance but the class mentioned above doesn't work for your schedule, please contact us or click on the Valley Circle link in the right side bar to get information on other clubs. There are local square dance clubs that would be happy to teach you.

The square dance community is very welcoming and many of our SATB club members participate in several dance clubs in the Lower Mainland. Learning with another club is a great opportunity to network with other dancers and what you learn there prepares you to dance with us.



Want more laughter in your life? Looking for a new interest, more social connection, or an activity to share with your partner? Interested in keeping your mind sharp? Or just want to have a free, fun evening doing something different? Then come dance with us.


This is not the square dancing you may expect or remember:

  • Dress is casual
  • Music is contemporary
  • We laugh a lot
  • It's great exercise
  • Singles and couples are welcome
  • Lead? follow? Your choice
  • Absolutely no experience (or rhythm) is necessary
  • Don't know your right from your left? You'll learn!
