May 13: Picnic in the Park

Strange visitors descended on Hoover Park in Palo Alto when the Reelers held a picnic and dance on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Kurt Gollhardt had the crowd dancing to "Purple People Eater" and Jeff Alder made his calling debut.

Due the current CDC COVID-19 Community Level being low, masks are optional when dancing indoors with ECR, both at club nights and our upcoming class. If things change, we will re-evaluate the situation.

Real dancing.
Real people.
Real fun.

EL CAMINO REELERS is a modern Western Square Dance club, formed by lesbians and gay men in order to meet people, have fun, and learn to square dance. We dance to live callers using the Callerlab SSD-50, Mainstream, Plus, and Advanced programs.

LEARN TO SQUARE DANCE! It's a great way to meet active, open-minded, intelligent, and sometimes very silly people. We would love to welcome you to our club. Come to one of our no experience required Open House Nights, or send a note to information@reelers.org and let us know you're interested.
