Queens & Jacks 
Square Dance Club

Welcome to the Club!

Presidents' Message

We are proud to introduce you to our Queens and Jacks Square Dance Club

Special Events for New Dancers are a huge success   
No less than 21 Q&J members attended the Calgary Callers New Dancer Ball including our Caller, and 20 of us went out for dinner afterwards. It was a fun time with 6 different Callers. Our New Dancers had a lot of fun and we were very proud of how well they danced. A dozen Queens and Jacks members attended the New Dancer Jamboree sponsored by the Rockyview Ramblers on February 25th. There were six squares up all the time and the dancing was fun. The potluck dinner following was fabulous, and we learned that Tim and Neil love Nanaimo bars! 

Mainstream Dances March 22 and April 8 
Our regular Mainstream dances on Friday nights start square dance tips at 7:30. Round dance will be cued between square dance tips. We love to have guests. Please join us for dancing and socialization.   
Yearend Celebration and Graduation of New Dancers 
Yearend Celebration of our graduating dancers will be held on Friday April 26. The special night will celebrate the graduation of our New Dancers, transitioning them to full scale Mainstream Dancers. There will be a catered sit down meal, so there will be a $15 charge per person for that evening and we are asking that people buy a ticket ahead of time to ensure we order the right number of meals.  See attached poster for detail.  

Looking forward to seeing you across the square.

Today’s Square Dancing is for EVERYONE!

  1. Modern square dance has evolved from traditional square dancing into a multi-level, sophisticated programme that is challenging for all ages. 
  2. Dance to all types of music including rock, pop, blue grass, classical and more. Any upbeat music works for square dancing.
  3. It’s as easy as walking! There is no fancy footwork, or lead/follow partner, making it painless for people with ‘two left feet’. It beats going to the gym!
  4. It has the same benefits as low impact aerobics. Clock 7000+ steps in an evening of dance. Side effects include new friends and having FUN learning something new.
  5. Dress is your choice – casual, dressy, western or traditional costume. It is important however to wear comfortable shoes.
