Greater Cincinnati Dance Federation
Square up in the Queen City
Square dancing on both sides of the river: twelve clubs from Lebanon to Fort Thomas, a dance almost every night, and a warm welcome whether you’ve danced for forty years or never.
Welcome!
Friendship set to music
We’re all about our love for square dancing: a tremendous activity for socialization, exercise, and just having a terrific time.
Whether you’re a long time dancer or have never been on the dance floor, we invite you to take a look around our website and see what we have to offer.
