International Square Dancing Month honors the square dance, a favorite pastime since the early days of the colonization of the United States.
The square dance originated in England in the 1600s and was inspired by folk dances that included jigs, reels, and minuets. During the colonization, early Americans toiled for five days. On Saturday, they would come together for a community party and dance several kinds of dances. Later on, it became difficult to remember all the dances. Soon they began using prompters to call for cues while dancing. As the population grew and moved south, people brought this dance with them; however, during the 19th century, the square dance lost popularity. By the 1920s, the square dance became popular again thanks to Henry Ford, who saw it as a means of exercise.
