The Mississippi Squares is built on fun and fellowship, with an active community involvement. It is a member of the Eastern Ontario Square and Round Dance Association (EOSARDA). The dance program follows the Modern Western Square Dancing definitions as described by Callerlab at three skill levels: Basic, Mainstream and Plus. This style of dancing is popular worldwide.

The club is very active in dance lessons and the recruitment of new dancers at the basic level. To this end the format on Tuesday nights is one of alternating Basic and Mainstream tips. It is based in Carleton Place, Ontario, and draws its membership from the surrounding area including Smiths Falls, Almonte, Carp, Arnprior, Pakenham, Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond, Munster and Lanark. We are only a short drive from Ottawa.

The immediate integration of new dance classes with the Mainstream group has, since its inception, proven to be very beneficial for new dancers.

Dancing at the Plus level is held regularly on Friday nights with alternating Plus-Teach and Full-Plus tips.

Experienced PLUS dancers enjoy the fast pace of our Full-Plus tips. If you are learning PLUS or have not danced for a while, you will enjoy the Plus-Teach tips.
