Information About Classes

Mainstream classes are held Wednesday night from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, at the Milwaukie Grange. Classes are led by caller Ed Craig.

Come to our Square Dance on September 3, 2008. Attend that night to be entered for a door prize drawing for free Mainstream Classes. New class begins on September 10, 2008. All dancers (experienced and new, club members or not) who wish to join our class are encouraged to come check it out. We'd love to have you!

Mainstream square dance class consists of TWO 9-week sessions (Wednesdays September through January), as well as a monthly First Saturday Dance. Graduation date is set for the First Saturday of February.

Tuition is $60.00 per each 9-week session. May pay both sessions up front for $100.00, a $20.00 savings. Or pay $25 at the beginning of every month. Total scholarship money is available by seeing our club president confidentially. Tuition also includes the student's club membership through June, Rosetown Ramblers name badge and free admission to all club dances through graduation.

Below is the list of calls in the order in which you will be learning them. Don't be intimidated by the number of calls. Remember: it's a barnyard activity, so it's not meant to be rocket science. So even if you forget the steps, people will still like you.
