Old-fashioned as we may appear to be, we are really a modern square dance club with the
latest technology, including a Williams Sound System! So if you have FM Willians receivers,
bring them, they will work here! And if you don't, but sometimes have trouble hearing the
caller, we have a few Willians receivers at the front desk, you can use one and hear crystal-
clear sound straight from the caller.
Driving Directions: Approaching Oakhurst from the south,
Highway 41 to the second light in Oakhurst, there turn right onto Road 426 (Crane Valley Road), go
past one light about 2 blocks, turn right onto Road 425B. (You pass Sierra
Telephone and Mountain Comforts, but if you come to a second light on Road 426
you've gone too far). On 425B go about 2 blocks, turn right and go up a
little hill into the Community Center parking lot. From Mariposa and points
west and northwest, follow Highway 49 to Oakhurst, turn left at the light at the
END of 49, that will be Highway 41, turn right at the next light onto Road 426
and proceed as above.

Square dancing is a year-round activity. Well duhh :-) that's because we
have a nice warm hall to square dance in - and air conditioned in summer! And THIS summer
we won't let the heat get us down - it will be The Summer of '09!! First comes our Short
Pants Night on July 8 - with ROOT BEER FLOATS and guest caller Norm Crawshaw. Come and be
cool!
But that's just the beginning. You ain't seen nothin' yet! Not until our big
BIG BIG bash to celebrate Independence Day on Saturday, July 11; the one, the only, the
Gold Dust Stomp with our delicious Enchilada Dinner;
Rick Hampton returns to call for us, Mirdza Ward cues round dances and our own George Morrill
cues line dances. You can even bring your RV and park it with POWER! Yes, even as
John Lennon (and Progressive Insurance) used to say 'Power to the People!', we say: Power to
casual tourists in Yosemite who may become interested in square dancing! at our annual
Wawona Picnic and Barn Dance on Saturday, August 1!
Imagine! a picnic by the (South Fork Merced) river followed by a square dance in the Old Wawona
Barn! Then, as things get tropical, we will have our LUAU on August 12. Wear your
Hawaiian clothes!
If you are but a beginner at square dancing, a member of our
class, you will find that, at these special dances, every other tip is a class level or "all dance" tip!
Our SQUARE DANCE CLASS is going well, we are through the basic calls and into the
mainstream calls; the newbies, along with some that have had some
square dance experience, but not enough to keep up in advanced tips, join with experienced dancers
in the teaching tips. We are a dominant teaching
club for all of the Sierra and Central California. From new calls, to old time square
dance calls, square dancing today dances to a world standard and the key to it is in the square
dancing classes. Great opportunity!

At our 1950's Sock Hop, three bobby-soxers mysteriously came through a time-warp to join us. . . .
At our 1920's reminiscence dance, we had genuine flappers and a Chicago mobster.
Here we are doing what we love to do.
