On Friday, some local dancers and I square danced for about 500 elementary (K-5) students at Bel-Aire Elementary School. Their coach had been teaching them square dancing for the past few weeks, and one of the aides, who’s also a square dancer, rounded up a couple of squares and a caller (me) to come in for a couple of assemblies. We danced some patter to both traditional and non-traditional music, the dancers and I answered questions (we were all surprised at how many questions the kids had), we did a singing call, and then we got some of the kids (the ones who wanted to) out to dance. They were mostly enthusiastic, and seemed to have a good time; the 1/2 hour we had with each group (K-2, and 3-5) went too quickly.
