Puddletown Squares, Seattle’s square dance club for Gays, Lesbians,

and their friends will be having a Community Square Dance with caller

Susan Morris, December 29th at West Seattle Tibbets Methodist Church,

3940 41st Ave SW, from 7–9:30pm. $10 dollars at the door.

The Community Dance Program is a big change from the type of square

dancing that Puddletown Squares usually does, in that dancers can

come when they can and learn everything they need to dance that

evening. The caller calls squares, mixers, circle dances, traditional

dances, contras, trios, and mecolanzas. The dances are easily learned

and always walked through before dancing them.

Square dancing is fun for all ages and is a great alternative to the

bars for the gay community. Longtime dancer and treasurer of

Puddletown Squares, Ross Crawshaw-Lopton says, "Square Dancing is one

of the few events in our community where not only do men and women

have fun together, but they bring their kids and their parents and

their straight friends!"
