Our goal is to promote Square Dancing by providing information on dancing in East Texas and providing information on special dances/events that might be of interest to the dancers of East Texas and dancers elsewhere. We have engaged an email mailing service to assist us in our goal of delivering Square Dance information to dancers. We do not sell, give away or use your address for other purposes and we do not send chain letters, jokes, etc.

We will be publishing an "East Texas SD Info Newsletter" with information about East Texas clubs, cancellations, location changes, and other news about local events.

We will be publishing (less frequently) a "General SD Info Newsletter" with information about special dances and events that might be of interest for those who would travel to enjoy some great dancing in Texas, the surrounding states and even some dances in far away places.

You may sign up for both Newsletters or just the General SD Newsletter. If you later decide you do not want to receive these newsletters, you can easily unsubscribe by following the instructions in each email newsletter.

Just click this link, then follow the instructions: Subscribe to the SQUARE DANCING with Jim & Gwyn Newsletter
