SQUARE DANCE LESSONS OFFERED

Square dancing lessons for beginners will be offered beginning Wednesday by the Hill Toppers Square Dance Club.

Loretta Fluegge with the club said the club promoted square dancing as an inexpensive way to have fun and meet people. She said it's also good exercise.

"Spending an evening square dancing will give you the same amount of exercise as walking eight miles, and you'll have more fun," Fluegge said.

Western-style square dance classes consist of four-couple squares. Lessons are needed to learn calls. All ages are welcome to the classes.

Lessons begin Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Evangelical United Church of Christ in Cape Girardeau. The first two lessons are free. For more information, contact Elbert and Rose McLard, 243-1526, or Dean and Betty Osbourne, 334-9295.
