I'm not sure what's popular now, and it's been about the same amount of years since I last danced.
I was very much into square dancing with my first wife (the one I mentioned in another thread was killed in a traffic accident last month). In fact, she was a square dance caller, and I composed music for square dancing, and we sold CDs of it. As far as I know my music is still in use at square dances, and I was well known amongst square dance callers at one time.
If you're interested in getting back into square dancing, I'd recommend going to a gay square dance club. The gay dancers I danced with years ago on a couple of occasions were awesome, they're younger, there's no dress code, and it's fine to dance in male or female position no matter how you're dressed. I looked at your profile, and you list Waco as the city, and I assume Texas is the state. I checked the website for the gay clubs and found there's one in Austin and another one is San Antonio.

I do hope to return to the dance floor myself next fall. We'll see how things go.
