Portland Square Dance
We’re a volunteer-organized weekly square dance in Portland, OR.
This is not your grandparents’ square dance! You don’t need special training or fancy clothes. Just come on out to meet people, dance, enjoy great music, and have a drink (beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks are available in the hall or downstairs at the pub).
The cost is an affordable sliding scale of $7 to $15. All ages welcome, no experience required. The dance is always held at the Village Ballroom.
In November, February, and May, the dance callers will use gender-neutral instructions, avoiding words like “ladies” and “gents.” But the dance is always friendly and welcoming to all! The dance season runs from September through April. Be sure to”like” our Facebook page for all the latest ESSD news
