Be there and be square! The 45th National Singles Dance-A-Rama takes over the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel this month, bringing in square-dancing enthusiasts from around the country. “Some people come coupled up, it’s not only for singles,” said Carol Bauer, event co-chair. “Anybody can come. Some people come by themselves and you dance with whomever.” Although you must be versed in the fine art of square dancing to participate, spectators are welcome. Because the dance events run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. over the course of several days, the organization offers a variety of tours that allow dancers to explore some of the local Grand Rapids attractions like Meijer Gardens and relax.
