The Sandpipers Square Dance Club is a non-profit, all volunteer organization. The club is operated by its members for their recreation and enjoyment. It is an affiliate of the Palomar Square Dance Association. Visitors are always welcome.
|
Dances are, with some exceptions, on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Plus-level modern American square dancing and round dancing are featured.
|
Pre-rounds (30 minutes of cued round dances) begin at 7 PM. Round dance proficiency varies from easy to intermediate (mostly phases 2, 3, and 4).
|
Plus-level square dancing begins at 7:30 PM. Typically, square dance tips alternate with round dances until 10 PM. A solo rotation board is maintained for single dancers.
|
An advanced tip (A-1 or A-2) is called during the evening's refreshment break. Another advanced tip is called as the evening's last dance.
|
Themes enhance the event since music selections may reflect the theme. Dancers also, at their option, may select their attire accordingly. Traditional square dance attire is always appropriate, regardless of theme.
|
Square dancing is an alcohol-free social recreation. Members of United Square Dancers of America pledge to abstain from alcoholic beverages before and during square dance events. This pledge is an integral feature of liability insurance available to associated square dance clubs.
