They must have been busy dancing! 😀

New dancers Paul and Tina received 2nd- and 3rd-quarter dangles and certificates from Square Dance Minnesota for attending 14 different square dances. (They were not at the SDM Festival so they did not receive these items at the Festival.)

Please welcome them into your squares when you see them (and with 14 dances under their belts in such a short time, you WILL see them!)

Square Dance lessons start next Tuesday the 22nd at the JAC dance studio. We have 9 students signed up and we would like to get 15 angels or more in order to split the students into 3 squares for optimal learning and fun.

Jefferson Activity Dance Studio, 4001 W 102nd St, Bloomington MN
Classes start at 7:15 (but get there a little early)

May and June are the months for graduates and we have some of our own!

Please welcome Tony, Nancy, Robert, and Sonia! They graduated our early 2026 session and joined Spares and Pairs. We look forward to dancing with them and becoming square dance friends. As they start dancing in the area, please say hello and welcome them into your squares!
