How? By square dancing!

Square dancing is a great whole body exercise like cross-country skiing in that both upper and lower body gets exercised at the same time.

It is fun, social, and easy to learn. Different callers play different music styles. You can dance to traditional music, or to rock and roll, or to contemporary music.

You can dance as a couple, or as a single, or with your best friend. Belle's dance the beau's part, so there is never any gender limitation in making up a square---and you are changing partners all the time. It's a great way to make friends. And once you know how to square dance you can dance with clubs all over the world, meeting people as you travel.

Square dancing is easy to learn. If you can walk, you can square dance! It is easier than line dancing, or ballroom dancing because there are no tricky steps to learn, and no one steps on your feet.

Square dancing will add 10 years to your life, and it is something you can do from your teens until you are 100 years old.

So find the nearest square dancing club to you.
