WHAT IS ROUND DANCING?

    Round dancing is best described as choreographed ballroom dancing for couples.  It is a social, non-competitive activity where all the dancers progress as couples counter-clockwise in large circles around the hall. On the dance floor, choreography is directed verbally by a round dance cuer, enabling all couples on the floor to dance the same steps at the same time.  Each choreographed routine is set to a particular piece of music.

    The aspiring round dancer gets started in the activity by joining a club that offers new dancer sessions.  They receive instruction, workshop review and dance in a fun atmosphere that's also a smoke and alcohol free environment.  The dance season usually runs from September through to May.  Many square dance clubs incorporate round dancing into their programs because it is seen as a complementary dance form where couples can have a break from their squares to enjoy a few  moments of dancing together.

    The easy level of round dancing emphasizes rhythms in 2-step and waltz. As one makes the transition to the intermediate level, the fox-trot, quickstep, tango, rhumba, cha cha and jive are introduced.  As in any other activity, the dancers control how far they want to go.
