Jug Tavern Squares Club Members

Square dancing in America, evolving into forms like those seen in clubs such as Jug Tavern Squares, has deep roots in European folk dances brought by settlers, specifically in the combination of English country dances and French quadrilles. It became a staple of 19th-century American social life, transitioning from rural, informal gatherings to a structured, popular activity influenced by educators like Lloyd Shaw and popularizer Henry Ford in the 1920s-30s. Post-World War II, it evolved into Modern Western Square Dance, characterized by professional callers, recorded music, and choreographed, complex figures, often performed in clubs

Modern western square dance, which is also called western square dance, contemporary western square dance, or modern American square dance, evolved from the western style of traditional square dance.

Since the 1970s, modern western square dance has been promoted and standardized by Callerlab, the International Association of Square Dance Callers.

Origins and Evolution

Square dancing, rooted in 17th-century European folk traditions such as the French quadrille and English Morris dance, evolved in America into a popular social activity.

Influenced by African-American musicians who popularized “calling,” the dance spread through rural communities and was later promoted by Henry Ford in the 1920s to encourage traditional values.
