The Circulators invite you to dance with us Friday evenings at the Recital Hall in Balboa Park from 8:00 - 9:45 PM. We dance at the plus level, with rounds between tips. Steve Woodard is our caller and Peter Gomez and Rey Garza are our cuers. Couples, singles, and children (with adult supervision) are welcome. The entrance donation is $3.00 per person, unless it is a special dance.
Our party night is normally every 4th Friday. Take a look at our calendar and dress up to match the occasion.
It's summer time! Put away those petticoats, bloomers and long-sleeved shirts for summer attire. Shorts, short-sleeved shirts or whatever can help keep you cool while you work up a sweat dancing is acceptable to wear to our dances.
We feature out-of-town callers at our 5th Friday and other special dances. Steve will be MC'ing these special evenings. See the Special Dances sections for specifics.
Our beginning class starts September 5th. New students are accepted for the first three weeks. Your first night of dancing is free! Class is held Friday nights from 6:30 - 8:00 PM in the Recital Hall in Balboa Park. $3.00 donation per person per lesson.
Square dancing is a lot of fun and good exercise. You meet people from all walks of life and all ages. Give it a try if you have never square danced, or if you vaguely remember it from your elementary school days. We think you'll like it!
Contact Larry Isom & Gayle Chenoweth at (619) 501-2750 or Wes & Claudia Green (619) 247-5361 if you have questions.

Be aware that during the summer months the Starlight Theater is
presenting productions and they use the same parking area that we do.
You may want to arrive a bit earlier than normal to get a parking place
that is close to the Recital hall.
