CueSteps Round Dance Club is a non-profit club, incorporated under the Alberta Societies Act in July/2008. Classes are held at Winston Heights Mountview Community Centre, 520 – 27th Avenue N.E. (just off Edmonton Trail) in Calgary. We are fortunate to have Cliff Dunn & Jane McKee as our cuers/instructors; their classes are well-organized, informal, and enjoyable!
Prior to the pandemic, CueSteps had 86 registered dancers. Though the majority are from Calgary, we also have members from surrounding communities. Our instructors commute weekly from Lacombe! Our dancers are at least 18 years of age and range into their 80’s. Some of our members are new to round dancing, but a few have 20+ years of experience!
Our Club provides a variety of classes, Beginner to Phase IV+. Each class is held for 1.5 hours/week on Sundays, mid-September till the end of April with breaks for Special Holidays. Monthly practice sessions are held over the summer. (For our Dance Program, Schedule, Instructors, and Location, please see Dance Classes.)
CueSteps is a member of The Calgary & District Square & Round Dancers Association (C&D), a non-profit, umbrella organization for local Square Dance, Round Dance, and Clogging Clubs. Through C&D, our members belong to the Alberta Federation (ASRDF), and likewise have membership in the Canadian Society (CSRDS). Our dancers are able to participate (registration fees are required) in Special Dances, Conventions, Workshops, and Jamborees at the local, provincial, national and international levels – an enjoyable perk for travelling and meeting new people!
To assist financially, CueSteps now has its own casino funding through the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. Our fees are as follows:
- Club Membership: $10/person/year;
- CSRDS Membership (includes third party liability insurance): $5/person/year; and
- Class Fees: $6/person/class for members or $8/person/class for non-members.
