Pegasus Squares is a DFW-based Modern Western Square Dance Club, providing outreach to the LGBTQ community and its supporters. We meet weekly on second and fourth Sunday afternoons from 2-4 PM at Grace United Methodist Church (directions below). Everyone is welcome, so please join us!
We may have beginner lessons this Fall, if there is sufficient interest.
You've never met a finer group of folks than our dancers. Pegasus Squares is part of a larger LGBTQ Square Dance family that hosts dances all over the country. The dance program is standardized, so you are able to travel anywhere and dance.
Square Dancing is truly "Friendship Set to Music!"
With all its moving, twisting, and turning, Modern Western square dancing provides more than the daily dose of heart- and bone-healthy physical activity. Remembering all the calls — from "Dosado" to "Allemande Left" — keeps the mind sharp, potentially staving off age-related memory loss.
Don't think square dancing means listening to "square" country music. Sure, we enjoy our hoe-downs! But square dance music is so much more. Practically any music can be used for square dancing. Come check out the tunes!
Although Pegasus Squares has some couples in its membership, as far as dancing is concerned, it is a singles club. You can "dance with the one whut brung ya..." or with any of our dancers, many of whom can dance both the boy's and girl's parts!
Formal square dance attire is never required at our dances, although we do sometimes like to dress up! Our dress is typically extremely casual — shorts and T-shirts are "de rigueur" in the hotter months!
Pegasus Squares welcomes everyone without regard to age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
Pegasus Squares hosted its first fly-in in March, 2017 and a second in March, 2019. Both were successful beyond our wildest dreams with over 100 dancers in attendance each year!
Due to the COVID pandemic, the 2021 fly-in was delayed until 2022. Lingering concerns reduced attendance somewhat, but everyone still had a great time and we made a profit!
