Square Dancing May Give Some “Vertigo”
A 28-year-old dance instructor in my hometown of Portland, Ore. now teaches a modernized form of square dancing to attract younger participants.
What do they dance to? Michael Jackson, Tag Team and…U2.
Paul Silveria creates a “hoedown mosh pit” from the moves he choreographs, and sometimes teaches in unconventional spaces (warehouses, for example). That’s great for young folks, but purists aren’t apparently happy about it, seeing it as a threat to the classic pastime.
