If you are New to Square Dancing, Welcome!

As the Fern Bluff Squares, we specialize in insuring teaching people to square dance in the mainstream square dance program. However, the Fern Bluff Squares belong to an umbrella organization called the Mount Baker Square Dance Council which has many clubs that specialize in teaching/dancing the Mainstream program. If our lessons which are held on Wednesday evenings (offered in both September and January) don’t fit your calendar, please look for lessons associated to one of those clubs.

As you can see by clicking the Mount Baker Square Dance Council site. there are about a dozen clubs in the area. Most of them dance/teach Mainstream. Most of them start their lessons in the fall (September or October), although some start in January. Lessons last a few months, but lessons are not that different than ‘just dancing’ so don’t let the time it takes stop you. Just come to the first lesson (most are free to try it out) and see how much fun it is.

The decision on which club to take lessons with mostly depends on logistic factors like which is physically closer and whether the night they have lessons works for you. Partners are not necessary; we have experienced dancers that can help you out and it’s a wonderful activity to add to your life.
