On the floor

See us dance

Great callers, theme nights and a lot of laughing. Here’s what a night with Capital Squares looks like.

Visiting the Triangle?

Just show up. We'll square you up.

Traveling dancers, snowbirds, and folks from Cary Cross Trailers and Square Heels are always welcome. Here’s what to expect.

$8

Per dancer, every dance night: Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Lesson dancers and angels pay the same.

No set needed

A computer rotation program builds the squares, so come solo or as a couple.

Your choice

Square dance attire or casual. On theme nights, costumes are half the fun.

Bring

Your water bottle, and a snack to share on Saturdays if you like.

Behind the mic

Callers and cuers you'll hear

Our own Eva Murray plus a rotating line-up of regional and national callers keep every night fresh.
