The Square Dance Center (also known as SDI) is located at 838 Tulip Avenue, and is Knoxville's most active location for all levels of Western-style square dancing. Five clubs/groups enjoy using this facility for dancing mainstream-through-C2 levels nearly each week, in addition to weekly Latin Dance instruction classes and occasional church events.
For information about renting this magnificent, two-floor, air-conditioned facility with floating wooden floors, contact Steve Kopman by email at SteveKopman1@gmail.com or by phone at 865-599-3841.
