Video Clip about Square Dancing from WUNC TV's North Carolina Weekend
series. (about 4 1/2 minutes)

"It's likely that only a small percentage of our North Carolina Weekend audience have actually seen what goes on inside a square dance. That's about to change!"

Here is a good YouTube video clip from a very similar dance. Most of the people in this video had no experience with Square Dancing prior to that dance.

Increase Your Dancing Enjoyment

At many square dances, as much time is devoted to ROUND Dancing as to Square Dancing.
While some dancers are taking a break between Square Dance tips, others use that time for Round Dancing.

What is Round Dancing?

Round dancing is cued ballroom dancing, It is a beautiful dance form where all the couples dance the same steps in unison at the direction of the cuer (caller). The dancing couples form a big circle and dance around it; hence the name. Many types of ballroom dance are used, including cha-cha, two-step, waltz, jive, rumba and foxtrot. A few square dance clubs have Round Dance instruction.
