The DC Square Dance Collective and our friends at the Baltimore Square Dance are teaming up to bring Dare to Be Square back to the DC area for the third year in a row! This is a fun, affordable, weekend-long gathering and getaway featuring sessions where you can square dance to your heart’s content, learn to call your first dance, hone your calling skills (any and all levels), enjoy instrument and singing sessions, learn clogging/flatfooting, play lawn games (for real), or take advantage of oodles of opportunities to jam and just hang out!

We have an exciting lineup of callers and musicians, including:

• Will Mentor
• Megan Downes
• Tui (Jake Blount, Libby Weitnauer, A'yen Tran, and Eli Broxham)
• Black Twig Pickers (Sally Anne Morgan, Mike Gangloff, Nathan Bowles, and Isak Howell)
• Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno
• Brad Kolodner
• ​& More!

Check out the schedule of events for more details!

Register today! Everyone must register in advance because we cannot sell onsite registrations at the park.

Dare To Be Square DMV is sponsored by the Folklore Society of Greater Washington.
