New Dancers Dance to Yuma’s Best

Yuma’s newest Square and Round Dancers were treated to a rare afternoon of dancing to all of Yuma’s Callers and Cuers, on Sunday, March 22. More than 7 squares filled the floor.

The Yuma Square Dance Association sponsored the free mainstream dance as a welcome to our newest dancers.

Dancers brought finger foods and generous food donations for our mission, Crossroads Missions.
