    Allemand left and do-si-do to Cleveland Metroparks for this year's
    Cedar Valley Square Dances beginning Friday, June 11 from 7:30 to 9
    p.m. at Frostville Museum in Rocky River Reservation and continuing
    every other Friday through August 20 (June 25, July 9 & 23,
    August 6 & 20) - a tradition that is more than 30 years
    long.

     

    Caller Frank Koenig gets all ages into motion teaching everything
    participants need to know to enjoy stepping around the lawn in
    squares, lines and circles. Bring a partner, come solo, or bring
    the whole family to this free program! 

     

    Square dancing made its way to the United States via the first
    settlers arriving in the New England area and the immigrant groups
    that followed, who brought with them various dances of their
    countries of origin.  What are now called folk dances were the
    popular dances of the day in the countries of their origin, such as
    the schottische, quadrille, the minuet, and the jigs and
    reels.  

     

    Refreshments are available for purchase at FrostvilleMuseum's
    refreshment stand.

     

    FrostvilleMuseum is located on Cedar Point Road in Rocky River
    Reservation, between Valley Parkway and Columbia Road/Route 252,
    south of Rocky RiverNatureCenter in North Olmsted.

     

    The free dances are held rain or shine - outside on the lawn or in
    the barn.  

     

    For more information, call 440-734-6660.

     

    Don't miss out on all the music and family fun, square dancing the
    night away with Cleveland Metroparks - part of your life,
    naturally!
