Here’s your chance to try out square dancing with a fun, supportive LGBTQ and allies community. Whether you have a little bit of experience from grade school or no prior experience at all, come join the fun. The Ramblers bust all the old stereotypes about square dancing:

No dress code–just come as you are in comfortable clothes.
No dance partner required–we’ll make sure you get into a square.
No fixed gender roles–dance the position where you feel comfortable.
No hokey music–well, maybe a little, but we also use lots of contemporary music, too!
