The Cary Cross Trailers Square Dance Club is a western square dance club in the Triangle area, the heart of North Carolina near Raleigh, the state capital.
We square dance at the Plus level. Sometimes our caller will challenge us with DBD.
Some of the dancers in our club like to wear western outfits, while many others come in normal street clothes. We encourage square dance attire for our monthly birthday celebrations and/or theme nights. Whether or not you arrive in formal square dance attire, we heartily welcome visitors. Come as a couple or come by yourself. We are always happy to have you dance with us.
