Square Dancing is a favorite family pastime both here in the USA and in many other parts of the world. It can be found throughout the USA and Canada and in countries as diverse as Japan and the Czech Republic. Square Dances are always called in English, although lessons may be taught in another language. Square Dancing is the State Folk Dance of over 30 of our US states.
