- Square dancing is done with four couples making up a square, but the dance can include more couples and more squares. One person is the caller, and calls out the steps dancers should make. Two styles of square dance popular in the U.S. are traditional, and modern western. Many square dancing enthusiasts join clubs to share their love of square dancing with others. There are several square dance clubs in the Dallas area.
- Lone Star Solos Square Dance Club meets every second and fourth Tuesday and is open to everyone. Visitors are greeted by club members acting as door greeters, and are offered refreshments. Some meetings are for special events such as a new dance or a game night party. The club often has "visitation," which is meeting another square dance club for a dance. Lone Star offers square dance lessons on Tuesdays nights.
