Cornball Reference to Square Dancing
Sigh…article captures the current soul of square dancing:
A visit to the weekly practice of the Delta Squares dancing club proves that chivalry is still alive. Couples square dance together in perfect harmony, and the women’s full petticoats and colorful skirts match their husband’s long-sleeved shirts in color and style.
The multipurpose room at Laurel Elementary School fills with the sounds of the caller’s distinctive yodeling as he instructs the men to “keep dragging those pretty girls around.” The dancers follow his every instruction with the greatest of ease and without hesitation.
“I find that people who square dance are adventurous,” Knightsen resident Dale Moses said. “They aren’t content to sit in a chair.”
The dancers end their evening with cocktails and a meal at the Buzz Inn. The bar and eatery usually closes at 10 p.m. along with most of the city but will make an exception for its loyal regulars.
