CueSteps Round Dance Club
WELCOME TO CUESTEPS HOME PAGE!

CueSteps Round Dance Club is a non-profit club, incorporated under the Alberta Societies Act in July/2008. Classes are held at Winston Heights Community Centre, 520 - 27th Avenue N.E., in Calgary. We are fortunate to have Ron and Donna Baba as our cuer/instructors. Their classes are well-organized, helpful, informal, friendly, and fun.

The Calgary & District Square & Round Dancers Association (C&D) is the non-profit, umbrella organization for these Clubs in Calgary and the surrounding Districts. Combined membership is over 900 with dancers ranging in age from 20s to 80s. While most of our dancing is for couples, members of the Swinging Singles Square Dance Club and the Clogging Clubs do not require partners. Some of our participants have been active in one or more of our Clubs for over 20 years! There's even a few who have learned all three of these types of dance!

Square Dancing, Round Dancing, and Clogging are international activities. Dance moves are standardized and called in English worldwide. Looking at the broader picture, C&D is a member of the Alberta Square & Round Dancers Federation (ASRDF), and through ASRDF, has membership in the Canadian Square & Round Dancers Society (CSRDS). Our Dancers often attend Special Dances, Conventions, Workshops, Jamborees at local, provincial, national and international levels. Visit our website more fully for further information.

In the 2010/11 dance year, 140 dancers were registered with CueSteps. Members ranged in age from the 20's to 80's. Many have been Round Dancing for over 10 years, and some for over 20 years! The Babas for almost 45 years!

Currently, CueSteps offers six different classes from the Beginner level through to Phase IV+. Phase I and II are the all-important basic levels which concentrate on dance form and timing while learning Waltz and Two-Step. Phases III introduces additional Waltz figures, Foxtrot, Jive, Cha Cha, Rumba, etc. Phases IV and IV+ include rhythms such as Tango, West Coast Swing, Slow Two-Step, etc. as well as greater complexity of figures/steps and choreography in the dances.

Classes are held once a week (for 1 - 1 ½ hours) Sunday or Monday, mid- September till the end of April with breaks for Special Holidays and the Christmas Season. Monthly practice sessions are held over the summer.
