How long should a square dance last?
We recommend 1½ to 2 hours of square dancing for most groups. One hour is possible, as a bare-bones introduction to dancing, but it can be frustrating if your group loves it (as most do!) and wants more. Two hours is usually enough for folks who aren’t used to lively dancing. Parties often last 3 to 4 hours; we typically play music for slower dancing and background music to fill out the time. But if your group wants more than 2 hours of square dancing, we’re happy to keep calling!
