In squares of eight across the country, Americans are linking arms, sashaying, and "do-si-doing" themselves to longer, healthier, and happier lives. They're having a blast and also lowering their risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, age-related memory loss, osteoporosis, and depression.

With all its moving, twisting, and turning, square dancing provides more than the daily dose of heart- and bone-healthy physical activity. Remembering all the calls -- from "do-si-do" to 'allemande' -- keeps the mind sharp, potentially staving off age-related memory loss, experts say. And the companionship that regular square dancing offers is an antidote to depression and loneliness, a statement confirmed by square-dancing advocates everywhere.

Most of the activities that people do these days are individual, such as golfing, tennis, and bowling. Square dancing is kind of unique in that it involves touching hands -- we turn, we swing, and that seems to bring us closer together. Social barriers are also gone. The prominent doctor dances next to the truck driver or with his gardener's wife and thinks nothing of it. All of them have a wonderful time! Shy people lose their inhibitions and become out-going during the dancing - and sometimes romance even blossoms.
