What happens at a Square Dance?
Typically at a Dance squares are created and two dances occur (this is referred to as a Tip). The first dance in the Tip is a Patter Call (no song verse), and the second dance is a Singing Call. The Tip is then followed by two round dances, which can be Two-step, Waltz or a combination. The Tip and Round dance pattern is repeated through the evening. Most dances include a break for refreshments, sometime during the evening. You are not required to dance every dance in the evening. You may choose to sit out a Tip, Round or both.
