🤠 New faces on the dance floor!

It was lovely to have some new dancers join us on Saturday — and even better to hear that you had fun! 💃🕺

That’s what square dancing is all about. It’s social, it gets you moving, and there’s usually plenty of laughter along the way.

You don’t need to know what you’re doing before you arrive — that’s what learning is for! Come along, meet some friendly people, learn something new and discover just how much fun eight people can have trying to follow the Caller. 😄

👉 Ready to join the fun? Reach out and come have a go!

📅 Atherton Square Dancers dance on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month.

New dancers are always welcome. ❤️

GCA Caller School has been a blast. Now it’s time to dance!

These photos say more than we ever could.

Over 800 people from around the world, laughing, dancing and proving that square dancing really is for everyone.

We’ve discovered something this week…

Inclusive communities are a lot more fun than exclusive ones.

If you’re the sort of person who enjoys seeing others welcomed, you’ll fit right in.

If you’re spending your time trying to convince people that someone else doesn’t belong… well… you might not enjoy it nearly as much.

Life’s too short to be grumpy.

We’ll be over here dancing. 💃🕺

🎤 What does Caller School have to do with beginners?

Everything.

This week we’re spending long days immersed in the craft of calling—teaching calls, timing, sight resolution, voice, choreography, presentation, and a hundred little details that most dancers will never notice.

That’s the point.

The less you notice the calling, the more you’re simply enjoying the dance.

Every exercise, every coaching session, and every piece of feedback is about creating a better experience on the dance floor—for brand new dancers and experienced dancers alike.

We’re looking forward to bringing what we’re learning back to Atherton Square Dancers.

Ready to join the fun? We can’t promise perfection… but we can promise a warm welcome, plenty of laughs, and a community that’s excited to have you join us.

🎙️ I wrote an article. I'd love you to read it.

It's about square dancing — the real kind, not the awkward PE class shuffle most of us remember from school. It covers why it's great for your body, your brain, and your social life. Why it works for singles, couples, families, and everyone in between. And why clubs like ours need people to show up and stick around while we find our feet.

If you've ever been even slightly curious, this is for you 👇

💛 National Volunteer Week is a reminder that strong communities are built by ordinary people who choose to show up.

At Atherton Square Dancers, we’re thankful for everyone who keeps community activities alive on the Tablelands by showing up, encouraging new dancers, bringing friends along, sharing a laugh, and creating welcoming spaces where people feel connected.

That’s what community clubs are really about.

Square dancing brings people together in a way that’s rare these days. It gets people active, laughing, learning, socialising and spending time together.

Over time, clubs like ours become more than just a place to dance. They become places where friendships form, confidence grows, and people know they belong.

But community clubs only survive when people support them and continue showing up for each other.

So this National Volunteer Week, we want to say thank you to everyone who helps build stronger, more connected communities across the Tablelands — especially our volunteers, supporters and dancers who help keep local community organisations alive.

Our community deserves spaces like this. 💚

If you’d like to be part of our community, join us on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month:

🕑 2pm–4pm
📍 84 Carrington Rd, Carrington

New dancers welcome.
No partner needed.
Come join the fun!
