Square Dance Social
An opportunity to engage in the most mathematical dance form ever created in the history of the Earth.
Two left feet welcome!
This is your low-stakes opportunity to try Square Dancing.Think of this as a fun experiment in group coordination and an opportunity to engage in the most mathematical dance form ever created in the history of the Earth. No partner is needed as we'll rotate throughout, so you'll dance with a few people. We have an expert Square Dance Caller who will walk us through the moves!
Why square dancing? Because it:
- Requires zero prior experience
- Creates order from chaos through simple, learnable patterns
- Builds physical confidence through predictable structures
- Is fundamentally collaborative
- Is perfectly deterministic (until it isn't)
This is an exploration of how simple rules create complex beauty and how minds and bodies can learn to work in harmony.
Bring: Comfortable shoes, curiosity, and a willingness to surprise yourself!

Our Caller for the event will be Marge Coahran! She started square dancing in September 2014 with the Toronto Triangle Squares. She attended her first caller school in July 2016, and she currently teaches the second level (Plus) class for Triangle Squares.
