The majority of the clubs here dances at the Mainstream level. In general, round dancing is also part of the program for most square dance clubs. Beginners are taught round dancing during beginners class and Phase II-III level dances are included in the program at most dances and festivals. Most callers and cuers are members of one club and very few of them get paid for their services. Most of the clubs are officer-run, and the callers and cuers will often be officers as well.
Clubs meet once a week, and members generally pay monthly dues, instead of paying per dance.
Community centers are the most frequent venues for weekly club dances. In addition to the Mainstream clubs, there are quite a number of Advanced and Challenge level clubs as well. While some people dance only at this level, many people continue to belong to a MS club at the same time. The same is true for round dancing. There are many Phase IV-V level round dance clubs.
