Boots and Babes Square Dance ClubAbout
Boots & Babes Square Dance
Club of Livingston, Texas is part of the
Sam
Houston Square and Round Dance Association
(SHSRDA for short).
The club was formed in
1979, with 29 members in the first graduating class. Alton and Mona Land
were the first presidents, and the club caller was Roger Hopper. John
Aden started calling for the club after Roger’s death in 1990, and
called for us for 16 years. Mike Burnham took over as club caller when
John retired, then K.O. Jeanes became our new club caller in 2007, when
Mike had to leave us. We are an active, stable club, and have an active
membership list of 30+ dancers.
Our club hosts an annual
Spring Jubilee, and takes part in special events in Livingston and
surrounding communities. The club first danced in the Fire Hall over the
old fire station. When that building was demolished, the club danced at
the St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, and then moved to the Escapees RV Park,
where we danced for several years in the Clubhouse during the summer and
in the Activities Center during the winter months.
After a couple of years at
the Lake Livingston Inn, we have recently moved to a new dance hall.

Here is a map on how to
find the new location from our old location at Lake Livingston Inn and
instructions:
Head north on Hwy. 59. Take
the Business 59 N (Washington Ave.) exit. Business 59 will curve to the
left at the Exxon Station. Continue north on 59, you’ll pass Garner
Street, then the restaurant is on the right a couple of blocks past
Garner. Look for a white brick building and the La Casita sign. Park in
front or behind the building and use the entry door in the rear of the
restaurant.
