Buckles & Bows Square Dance Club will present weekly beginner square dance classes every Tuesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. beginning Sept. 2 at Hillcrest Center for the Arts, 403 W. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks. Park to the left and walk down the second set of steps to the classroom.

Refreshments will be served.

The first class is free, and a $5 donation is requested for each class afterwards.

Anyone is welcome during the first three weeks.

The class will continue until May with no meeting on Dec. 30.

Square dancing involves eight dancers in each square. Beginning square dancing does not require great athletic skill or physical coordination. Dancers only need an alert mental attitude and a desire to have fun. The club provides a friendly and supportive environment.

Couples and singles are welcome. Partners are provided for all single student dancers.

"Wild" Bill Horst serves as instructor, caller, entertainer and support staff.
