The Square and Round Dance Foundation of RI is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the American art forms of square and round dancing.

We represents a group of active individuals who are interested in having fun, getting fit, and making friends while dancing. We provide demonstrations of square and round dancing to show that dancing is a great way to get out and meet people, have fun and get fit – all for less than the price of a movie ticket!

Square dancing consists of groups of eight people and a caller who calls out dance moves with varied steps, spins, turns, and changes with partners. Round dancing is pre-choreographed and cued ballroom dancing, usually done in a circle around a room. It incorporates such popular ballroom rhythms as the foxtrot, waltz, cha-cha, and rumba, to name a few, with a cuer who calls out the dance moves to match the music.

We can put you in touch with a dance club in the area that matches your level of experience. Even if you have never danced before, a beginner’s level dance can have you up on your feet in no time – even if you have two left feet! We believe that square and round dancing is fun for all ages and all levels of ability.
