The Buckles & Bows Square Dance Club of Thousand Oaks will host weekly beginning square dance classes from 7 to 9 p.m. every Tuesday Sept. 7 through May at the Thousand Oaks Hillcrest Center for the Arts, 403 Hillcrest Drive.

The first session is complimentary, and a $5 donation is requested for all other classes. Refreshments are served each week.

Students may join during the first three weeks.

Most dance styles emphasize the individual or partners of two. Square dancing uses seven other dancers in each square. Beginning square dancing does not require athletic skill or great physical coordination, only an alert mental attitude.

Supportive club members called Angels are available to help new dancers. Couples and singles are welcome. Partners are provided for all single dancers.

The caller/instructor is “Wild” Bill Horst.
