Cameron United Methodist Church hosts square dance

Cameron United Methodist Church hopes to make its square dance a new tradition after dozens learned a few new dance steps inside the church sanctuary last Friday. 

Kobey Puls, CUMC pastor, said he wanted a fun, unique activity for the public and reached out to Connie Graham, an area square dance instructor, for assistance. 

“We just wanted to do something a little different, which might be fun and something the community might want to come out to, and some of our church folks as well,” Puls said. 

Throughout the night, participants learned a variety of different line dance and square dances. Despite some steps requiring a bit of practice, Graham said those attending did quite well despite being novices to folk dancing.

“They did great. I always have a great time. The young people, old people and everyone in between - everybody likes to dance. It was great. A lot of people came up and asked for a card to take lessons ... It’s great. It’s such a fun exercise. It’s like exercising, without working out,” said Graham, who teaches lessons out of the Maysville Wrangler Club.

Following the success of last Friday’s event, Puls hopes to have another square dance next year, possibly before next Spring.

“We’re just trying to think about whatever we can do so people can have fun in the community they can come be a part of and something where our church (worshipers) can be,” Puls said.
