Welcome to Canada's Oldest Continually Dancing Square Dance Club!

Welcome to our website and to our club! Dancing as the Mavericks since 1952, we offer mainstream square dancing and phase 2 rounds at 8pm as well as a half hour of a mainstream workshop starting at 7:30pm. We meet on the first and third Fridays of each month (September through May) at the Royal Oak Hall on West Saanich Road (Find Us).

We dance to a wonderful caller, Lorne Clayton and his wife, Barbara. Lorne is a recording artist and has many albums to his credit. He continues to delight all who hear him call with the variety of his selections – especially on our theme night dances.

Please explore our website and find out more about us, and then come and visit us. You will find us welcoming to both singles and couples.

One remark we often hear about our club: You made us feel so welcome! Please come and join us in a square or a round!

Mavericks Photography Policy

  • ​No flash photography!
  • All photographs of people are by agreement with a photographer:
    • If you would like your photo taken, either individually or in a group, talk to the photographer about having it taken in the designated area.
    • If a full square of dancers want action shots, pre-arrange to have them taken at the back of the hall so other dancers aren’t included by accident.​​​

No Scents, Please!

Please come to our events scent free!
