Ten Commandments for Square Dancers

Commandment I

Dance for fun. Be certain that all dancers are sharing in your fun.

Commandment II

Goof and forgive. All of us were beginners once. Help given with a cheerful heart will never be forgotten.

Commandment III

Socialize. Dancing is a social activity and we include proper dress and behavior as part of our activity.

Commandment IV

Welcome a stranger. As every dancer knows from experience, "a stranger is a friend you haven't met."

Commandment V

Square up promptly. When the music starts, it's time to dance. Never let an unfilled square go begging and never leave a square.

Commandment VI

Let the caller do the teaching and keep the social conversation for the break periods.

Commandment VII

Honor your club by giving it your loyalty and service.

Commandment VIII

Let a smile be your umbrella and a warm handshake or hug be your calling card.

Commandment IX

Open your eyes. Dance with everyone. Give everyone the pleasure of being your corner. Why attend a large dance if you intend to dance only with those few couples who are your intimate friends?

Commandment X

Share the fun and good cheer by letting others know that square dancing is fun.
