Through its Seniors Assisted Transportation Program, older Albertans with health issues or limited income can request a ride to medical clinics, businesses, recreation facilities, and wherever else they need to go. Rides up to 40 kilometres or 90 minutes cost $10, and they are provided by friendly volunteers who are screened for a clean driving abstract, a vulnerable sector police check, and a well-maintained vehicle.

Leduc Square Dance

Contact info:

No Partner? No problem!
We are not a couples club. People generally dance the first and last tip with their spouse or 
partner, but in between we make sure everyone gets on the floor.

Costumes Optional
The colourful traditional square dance costumes (crinolines and flared skirts for ladies, western 
wear for the men) are optional. Dressy casual is fine.

What if I have 2 left feet? You’re in luck! Square dance has no fancy footwork to memorize -- 
simply take one "shuffle step" to each beat of the music .

Economical Night Out
An evening of square dancing is much less expensive than a gym pass, going to the movies, or a 
dinner out.

No lead/follow
Because we dance in a group, each person does his or her part. If you get lost, you'll have
lots of help.

Modern square dancing uses a wide variety of music – pop, traditional country, Broadway 
musical,contemporary country, classic rock — even Motown, techno and hip-hop. Something for every 
toe to tap to.

Featuring international professional caller Gary Winter
