New! Brush-up / Review / Workshops!

We replaced our Plus Learn time with an exciting new and free program for us all to have fun together!

Lorne will kick off each mainstream dance with a workshop/brush-up/review at 7:30pm.

You have an opportunity to learn basic and mainstream moves that might have been haunting or eluding you.

Here's your chance to master those moves, and have more fun and success in this exciting co-operative team sport called Modern Western Square Dancing!

We'll to see you on the dance floor!

P.S. Another exciting part of this new free program is that we will have a Moves To Learn suggestion box where you can write down the name of that move you just almost did and put it in the box for an upcoming free workshop!

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!

Can’t quite make out what the caller is saying?

Picture
It could be the caller is mumbling  . . .  but it could also be that with the music, and background noise in the hall, it is difficult to hear the spoken word of the caller, which makes it tough to follow the moves.

You may have noticed that up on stage, with the caller, is a little box with an antenna – this is a hearing device transmitter.   This device is connected to the caller’s equipment and at “lower island clubs” just the caller’s voice is transmitted out to dancers who have access to a specific frequency hearing device.

The Maverick’s Caller has one or two hearing device receiver loaners that you can try out to see if this technology will help you to hear better.

The purchase, of these devices, are subsidized by the local caller teacher association, and, should you wish to purchase one, they are available through a caller.
