Plugged in “learn to square dance” into Google and got this in the coveted first position: Learn to Square Dance. It’s actually a pretty nice site, although I think the URL is pretty awful (or maybe it’s just because I’m not good at remembering numbers).

Noriko‘s page doesn’t show up on the first couple of pages from Google, although it does show up as a link from Lynette’s Challenge site.

I hate frames. I’d like to cite this page: Information for Non-Dancers, but it’s a page that’s meant to be viewed in a frame context, and all the navigation info is in other frames. So instead, I have to cite Welcome to Mini-Squares and tell you to click on the “To Non-Dancers” item in the menu on the left. Yuck.

But, anyway, the Mini-Squares idea is interesting, although I haven’t heard any follow-up on whether people are successful in introducing their friends. I did come across this site, Learn to Square Dance, in my search on learning to square dance. And a later search on mini-squares revealed these results:

Mini-Squares Results: Only 1 new dancer completed the 4-week Mini-Squares session we hosted in July and another new dancer completed the 4-week session held in August. Not many members took advantage of the fun and challenge of these sessions. Most sessions only had 4 mini-squares so we lost money during both sessions. The club members who supported these recruitment sessions appeared to have fun and found the all-position dancing with only 18 calls challenging.
