This group was started in 1982 to try to keep the traditional figures from being lost. Charlie Tuffield, the founder of the group, started calling in the 40’s and saw many of his favorite figures lost as new figures were called. The group started as a fun club dancing traditional, mainstream and plus (TMP), but was quickly asked to perform at various club dances. The group started doing exhibitions showing their mix of figures. The Classics have danced at National Square Dance Conventions, Colorado State Square Dance Conventions, club and special dances in Colorado as well as Kansas, Nebraska, Washington Oregon and Arizona. The Classics have also danced at nursing homes, senior centers, schools, the People’s Fair, Four Mile House and a variety of other venues. When Charlie could no longer call for the group, his daughter took over the Denver group and started a new group in Berthoud. The two groups now dance together and continue to keep Charlie’s favorite figures alive.
