Lowell, ID

We are on our way to meet up with friends, and we needed a place to stay for just one night. We ended up in Lolo, Montana, at a park called The Square Dance Center and Campground. It is primarily a dance studio with RV spots for its visitors. During the week, there’s room for non-dancers like us.

“The Dance Center was constructed in 1978 … for the whole purpose of square dancing and round dancing. It has a cushioned maple floor, air conditioning, excellent sound, and room for 30 squares.”

There wasn’t anysquare dancing on the night we were there,  but there was round dancing.

“Round dancing is choreographed and cued ballroom dancing that progresses in a circular pattern counter clockwise around the dance floor.”

So basically round dancing is fancier and more complicated square dancing. At least out looks like it to me.

Rich and I watched a bit and were amazed at the complexity of the steps. The dancers danced to the caller’s cues to the James Bond song “Skydance”.

It was especially fun to watch the couples who were enjoying both the dance and each other.
