Learn to Square Dance w/ Desert Valley Squares

🌈Looking for something social, inclusive, and fun in Phoenix?

Desert Valley Squares invites you to try LGBTQ+ friendly square dancing—no partner, no experience, and no pressure.
This is a brand-new beginner class, designed for people who have never square danced before. Many people come solo, and everyone dances together—no gender roles, no expectations.
New dancers can start on February 1, 8, and/or 15th. Classes are customized for those who join during the first three weeks, and learning the necessary ‘Mainstream’ level of square dance calls takes approximately 10-12 weeks.

🌟 Why Square Dancing?

Square dancing is social by design—you’ll dance with everyone, so friendships form fast. People with “two left feet” do very well with square dancing, because you have the exact number of feet required to square dance. It’s a great alternative to bar-centered socializing and a wonderful way to build community and chosen family.

Easy-to-follow instruction at a relaxed pace
Lots of laughter, movement, and connection
Exercise that feels like fun
A chance to meet new people without awkward small talk
