To the non-participant, square dancing is �square� dancing. Not true. Although a Western-style dancer may participate in a Traditional-style dance without too much difficulty, a traditional dancer would be lost at most Western-style dances. The calls at a traditional dance may differ from one area to another, even in the U.S., but a Western-style dancer can join in anywhere in the world.

According to experts, a 2 to 2 1/2 hour session is equivalent to walking 5 miles � and a lot more fun. But if you want to participate in Western-style at the club level be prepared to attend at least 25 classes � and that�s just the beginning.

The next National will be held in Spokane, WA with an expected attendance of about 6,000 people.

Joe began square dancing in 1959 through the local 4-H program but dropped out for a few years. Suellen joined in in 1970. In the mid- to late-60s, Western-style square dance took a giant leap toward being a different type of dancing from Traditional-style. Therefore, Joe had to take classes again with Suellen to catch up.

Joe & Suellen took another break starting just prior to the birth of their 3rd child but have been quite active for the past 12 years � including being on the Michigan Council of Square and Round Dance Clubs (MCSRDC) and on the Committee for the 60th National Convention in Detroit in June 2011.
