About SHINDIGGIN
Shindiggin is dedicated to preserving the tradition of square dancing, and we offer many choices for people of all ages. We provide customized on-site instruction, and hold dances for a wide variety of social and corporate events. Shindiggin has recently produced a book and CD with music and singing calls for self-instruction so that square dancing can be enjoyed by eight or more dancers, anytime and anywhere.
