Upbeat SQRZ 1st Birthday

TASMANIA’S NEWEST Square Dance Club, Upbeat SQRZ, celebrated its 1st Birthday on January 10, with club members and visiting dancers from Victoria, Queensland and Launceston.

The club is very fortunate to be able to dance at the Deloraine Bowls Club – a fantastic venue for the activity. Partners are not needed for square dancing, so singles are most welcome. The club has chosen to hold their dances on Friday nights, to encourage families and people with work commitments to join in.

Gary Petersen, the club caller, uses a large variety of music styles every week and there are theme nights throughout the year. Gary describes square dancing as a bit like a human puzzle where you learn some rules, then play a bit and then go back to start all over again. Square Dancing is a great way to meet new friends while excercising your body and mind and having FUN! Upbeat SQRZ are starting a New Class on 7th February at the Deloraine Bowls Club. Don’t be shy, give it a try.
