Our dances are informal… comfort and informality are the rule for many occasions although some dancers choose variations of western wear for special dances. You can do as little or as much dancing as you want. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothes that don’t restrict movement.
Our dances are social… breaks between dances allow time for refreshments and conversation.

I am so interested in square dance..how can I get started?
Kirsten, Our dance classes began in September. It would be difficult to catch you up at this point. We will have another class beginning in September 2019. Classes are weekly from the third week of September through mid-May. If you are interested in having your name placed on list of prospective students, please email us at copy.cats@live.com. In the interim, you are welcome to join us at the Bay Trail Middle School Cafeteria on a Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM to see our class in action. If the school is closed for any reason, we would not dance on that evening. We look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Donna and Rick LaDonna (Copy Cats Co-Presidents)
I do not have a dance partner. Is one required?
Hi Paula, Our square dance classes began last September and will continue through mid-May. We will have another class beginning in September 2019. It would be difficult to catch you up at this point. You do not need a partner for classes. We have men who volunteer to dance with our students. This will not always guarantee a partner at dances. We strive to make sure that all of our single dancers have an opportunity to dance. If you would like us to place your name on our list of prospective students, please email us at copy.cats@live.com. Regards, Donna and Rick LaDonna
