Rendezvous in the Rockies

Seven students of the Wild West Squares attended the Rendezvous in the Rockies dance in Castle Rock last weekend with the live square-dance band Ghost Riders. Also attending were over 35 squares of fine dancers from multiple states including Alaska.

The five-piece band was fantastic, showing that live music has an important place in the square dance world.

The Wild West Squares will be on hand at this event to show the audience a square dance tip or two with caller Roberts and a super easy and fun group learning dance experience.
