Back to School January 2011

San Juan Squares started the new year 2011 with a new course of the Square Dance Basic Course. New students have already learned the very basic steps and are able to dance a few numbers. José Julio has been taking care of the new students while Mariel has continued practice with graduates. We have also had different dancers (Gloria, Lorraine, Karlos), direct the line dances at the beginning of the class. They are all doing a great job.

San Juan Squares have been very active through 2010. In addition to the weekly classes, we have had several exhibitions throughout the year.
