Lessons
Mainstream (beginner) square dance lessons are required in order for anyone who has not participated in this activity before, to be able to dance at a regular square dance. The lessons themselves are a great way to get out, have a good time and meet some fun, new people. You do not have to have a partner because many of the current Merry Mixers (we call them angels) volunteer their time to be a partner and to help students learn the calls each week.
This type of dancing is not difficult--if you can follow directions (the caller always tells us what to do) and walk, you can square dance. Coming to lessons is like coming to your own little dance every week and that is a lot of fun, right there!

Next Session

We are teaming up with Foot and Fiddle in Johnstown to provide instruction to interested couples singles and families.
 It all begins on Monday  September 12, at 6:00 pm with a FREE Chili dinner and then an introduction to the dance. 

Then on Wednesday the 14th, lessons begin and will go every Monday and Wednesday evening at 6:30 for about 8 to 10 weeks.  
The price for the full set of lessons is $25.00 per person.
Place: Johnstown Senior Center, 101 Charlotte, Johnstown. 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. each night

 We encourage people of all ages to give this a try. Families, church groups, community groups, friends...everyone! It's a great form of exercise and promotes mental well-being because it requires memory and listening skills. Make this great activity a part of your life and see the benefits for yourself!
