The primary location is the Middleton Ionic Masonic Lodge, 7409 Franklin Ave, Middleton WI.
Sundays from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. Starting February 22, 2026.
Modern Western Square Dance lessons in a friendly safe environment provided by A certified Square Dance caller. Tom Nickel will be your main instructor leading the group in learning the steps and culture at a gentle pace. Upon completion you will be a “Mainstream” level graduate, and be invited to join our club!
“Mainstream” is a classification or level of Square Dance consisting of about 50 calls. It is a widely used benchmark of skill for clubs.
It may seem like a lot of moves or “calls” to learn in the first sessions, but as the lessons progress we spend more time reviewing and practicing the learned calls. Then introduce a couple new calls that build on what has been learned. The pace is set by the group as it progresses.
A partner is not required! You may dance with an Angel or other students.
Angels are what we call club members that will dance with the lesson groups to fill in squares to gently assist with lessons as needed.
Lessons are cumulative and the learned material is refreshed each week from the previous weeks' lessons. We will happily work with you to get caught up from a missed lesson.
Comfortable shoes, casual clothing, and a positive attitude! You are welcome to bring your own personal water and snacks.
