A2 Square Dancing

The Checkmates club was formed by Randy Dibble to provide A2 dancing and to help develop A2 dancing skills through weekly workshops held every Thursday evening.

Due to Randy's workshops, lessons and a perception change towards the "A" dance level (a lot of credit can go to the dancers, too) ,which had been perceived by many to be "snooty" and not much fun, more "Plus" dancers have decided to give "A" a try and found fun filled dancing with fun "crazy" people ( well, at least some of us) with a bit more challenge than the lower levels. The challenge might not be for everyone, but if Plus dancers are looking for more "bang for their buck", also with people that are fun to be with, "A"s for you. Give it a try and you will be in for a great time. Please remember that being proficient with mainstream and plus is considered a prerequisite.

With the increase of "A" dancers, "The A-mazing Saturday Nights" as the Checkmates monthly dance, rekindled. This had folded for a while due to the lack of "A" dancers. While the workshops are casual dancing, the Saturday dance is considered to be formal (just dress nice; in clothing that's easy to move in).

"The A-mazing Saturday Nights" 
A2 dances,sponsored by the Checkmates, are held every 2nd Saturday of the month     Come one, come all!!
