Square dancing is an American folk dance deeply entwined in the roots of our past.
Dancing at the Convention and by members of the seven federations throughout the state of Pennsylvania is not your old-time barn dance, but is called Modern Western Square Dancing and has been organized so that after completing the basics, a dancer can go to any club in the United States and join in the dancing with the assurance of being able to follow the calls. Music varies and callers use all types of music as long as it has a good beat. Many square dancers look up a club when they are traveling, both in and out of the United States, and find it a great way to have a good time and meet people in a new area. You can also check out the PA State Federation Web Page at Pasquaredance.org to locate clubs in your area and learn more about the activity. If you are in the vicinity of the Radisson visitors are welcome.
