Welcome to our web site!

The Club:
The club was formed in January 1981, by 3 enthusiastic couples, the Tyndalls, Nixons, & Goodyears. Together they started dancing at the Wiarton Community Center, (upstairs) with 13 squares of new dancers the first night.

Through the years, the club has danced in several locations in Wiarton, including the public school, the high school, Salvation Army Hall, and now we dance at "The Meeting Place".

The night consists of Beginners, Mainstream and Announced Plus Tips, with Rounds in between. Over the years, theme nights have become our most popular events.

The club held a square dance festival, "Steppin' Out 84", hosted a premier Ontario dance with "The Red Boot Boys" from Tennessee. The club has entered floats in Wiarton Christmas parades, entertained at area nursing homes, danced at summer outdoor festivals at local parks, and hosted many SWOSDA monthly dances.

Many years ago the club had in their possession an albino groundhog (this is Wiarton, after all!). It was donated to the town of Wiarton for it's annual festival . The new town mascot was presented to the town at a summer dance in Bluewater Park, with TV and Press coverage - again promoting square dancing to the public.

Our Callers:
Lorne & Cecille Lockrey  have called for the club since its beginning in 1981, teaching both Squares and Rounds.
