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. Children 13 and under are free.
Our party night is normally every 4th Friday. Take a look at our calendar and dress up to match the occasion.
We feature out-of-town callers at our 5th Friday and other special dances. Steve will be MC'ing these special evenings.
For the hearing impaired and those wearing hearing aids, Circulators is proud
to announce our sound enhancement system. With your own pocket FM radio receiver
and earphones or earbuds, you can tune into the Circulators' frequency and
receive the caller's voice directly. Distracting noises, reverberation or
distance from the sound source will not interfere with your ability to hear the
caller or cuer.
Our class started at the beginning of September. It is held Friday nights from 6:30 - 8:00 PM in the Recital Hall in Balboa Park. $3.00 donation per person per lesson. The class is currently learning Mainstream moves.
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.
