Square and Round Dancing in Newtown
The Rocking Roosters Square Dance Club was founded 50 years ago by a group of Congregational Church members with the aid of local caller Bob Paris. We are a group of friendly people who enjoy and promote western style square and round dancing. Modern square dancing is a mental and physical challenge. It is dancing, it is thinking, it is teamwork. You can't do it by one's or two's. Moving in rhythm to the music keeps you physically fit. Reacting quickly to the square dance caller's calls keeps you mentally on your toes. And your team of eight dancers depends on you to keep those toes moving.
Join the fun!
Come to our Open Houses in September. ( check out the Calendar. ) We begin square dance lessons in the Fall. Classes are generally on Tuesday nights. Our regular dances are on the first and third Fridays of each month, except during the summer, usually at the Emond Town Hall in Newtown, Connecticut. Most dances are at the Plus level, with rounds, with an advanced tip at the break.
