The history of Hadsund squaredance.

  Hadsund squaredance was started in the winter of 1986 by Hadsund gymnastic association, it started with a team for children. The year before the children had danced “folk-dance”, but they wanted to try the fast & easier squaredance, with delightful music. From the beginning, we had danced New style squaredance which is a version of modern western squaredance. Squaredance, original from USA, is danced by an international set of rules, set by an association called callerlab, that way dancers all over the world can dance together. The dance is divided in different levels, we have a couple of levels in Hadsund. The difference between squaredance and other dances is, you don’t learn a “whole” dance, but calls, which the caller then puts together while the dance gets along The music we dance to, is mostly country & western, which we buy directly in the USA. We were so fortunate  to have a connection to callerlab right from the start, by having access to learning material from them. Starting of with one team of 12, Hadsund squaredance has grown to 75 members including both children and adults

At the present time there a 4 teams:

   Children

    Basic (Adult amateur)

   Plus (adults with 5 years of training)

   A1 (adults with 8 – 15 years of training)

  It’s still Hadsund gymnastic association, who is behind squaredance in Hadsund, and beside the weekly training sessions, the dancers perform a lot of shows.
