It's a fun activity that is gaining popularity once again and it's being touted as fun, healthy and easy to learn!

Jim Coburn of the South Dakota Square Dancing Association joined us on the morning show Friday to tell us how you can learn how to square dance and even showed us a few moves.

"It's easy and can be used with any type of music, not just western music,"said Jim Coburn.

Phil and Kelly learned that it isn't quite as easy as it looks though and found out that we really need lessons. Jim told us that this weekend and next weekend people can get lessons for a reasonable price.
