Square dancing a form of exercise

If there is one art form that has outgrown its stigma, it’s square dancing.

If there is one art form that has outgrown its stigma, it’s square dancing.

Popular with people of all ages, square dancing just might be one of the best-kept aerobic exercise secrets going.

A participant can dance up to six kilometres in one evening of do-si-do’ing, and have fun doing it.

For anyone wanting an introduction to the dance form, the Square Dance Clubs of Central Vancouver Island host an open house Wednesday (Sept. 28), at 7 p.m., at Nanoose Place, 2925 Northwest Bay Rd.

Participants have an opportunity to experience simple square dance moves – with help from club members – to a modern beat.

The event is free. Partners and singles are welcome to attend.

Please call Diane or Murray Thomas at 250-390-1899.
