Our club


The Sets in Step club was founded in May of 1958, and we have been dancing almost continually since then, with the exception of the hiatus we had to take in 2020 due to Covid 19.  We dance on the first and third Fridays of every month at the Knights of Columbus, in Montrose, California. Our dances are from 8:00 to 10:00 pm. On  some special occasions we start earlier: check our Schedule for details. Dances have traditionally been Mainstream and Plus level squares -- this year we are participating in the new Social Square Dance (SSD) format.

This coming September (2022) we will again be hosting a weekly class for new dancers based on the Social Square Dance (SSD) format.  SSD is a square dance program designed to get you square dancing in a short period of time. Until recently, square dance clubs in our area taught new dancers over 100 calls before they could participate in a dance, and the class ran for 9 months. With SSD, new dancers can start participating in all the fun of a real dance in just 12 weeks.

Our regular club dances will also mostly be in SSD so that new people feel comfortable dancing with us. We will have some intersperced Mainstream and Plus tips just to spice things up a bit.  We have a Singles Rotation board, so no partner is necessary!

Always remember that while good dancing ability is nice to have, the greatest contributions each of us can make towards the enjoyment of a dance are friendliness, good humor, patience, cooperation and a genuine desire to have fun!

Square ‘em Up and Lets’ Dance!
