SaddleBrooke Squares: “A” team effort!
Rita Fletcher
Team effort: Check! Contact sport: Check! Coach: Check! Fumbles: Sometimes! Victory: Always! Fun: Check!
The sport of Square Dancing is indeed a true team effort. A team of eight executes a variety of calls given to them as they dance and sing along. Mistakes sometimes happen but the fun is correcting them, as a team with a laugh, to quickly get back in the game. No mistakes are like a score of 100%; everyone gets a well done. It happens more times than not and the pride felt by each team member is like winning a trophy and a blue ribbon.
If you want to give square dancing a try, do! It is not what you may think, like when you first learned a few steps back in grade school. Modern square dancing is an active walk-about to upbeat music with friends. We are lucky to have a resident who is a professional caller. Many have learned and now enjoy this social experience while staying physically fit and mentally challenged.
Mark your calendars for October 11, a Sunday at 7:00 p.m. in the MountainView Ballroom for a free introduction to square dancing that you can do without any previous experience. Come see what the excitement is about. Dress is casual. See you on the square!
