The Fun & Frolic Square Dance Club was one of
the first square dance clubs in Jacksonville. It was established in 1956
as a "Mainstream" club, under the direction of Jack Griffith. Several of
the club members volunteered to help the City of Jacksonville to finish
building a facility, which they could use to dance in. This building
today is known as the Woodstock Recreation Center. They have participated
in Square Dance promotions at the Greater Jacksonville Fair, a live
broadcast from the "Today in Jacksonville" and a host of other
promotional demonstrations. On March 1981, they celebrated their Silver
Anniversary.
In 1983, Art Wilson took over the Fun & Frolic square Dance
Club and transformed it into the present day A1 and A2 club. Today the
club still maintains its open and friendly attitude where all A1 and A2
square dancers are WELCOME.
We are now dancing for two hours on the
1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the
month from 6:45 to 8:45. We presently dance under
Jim Cosman. |
