The Santa's Square Dance Club provides the opportunity and means for all to learn and
participate in organized square and round dance functions.
Square and round dance lessons are made available for a fee.
The Club was founded in North Pole in 1967 by Dick and Carol Manning, a Fairbanks caller and his wife. Also instrumental in the club's formation were Hector and Jeannette Therriault, local square dancers. Hector was Master of the North Pole Grange at the time and he and Jeannette felt that square dancing would be a wholesome activity for the North Pole community especially for the young people in the area.
Santa's Square Dance Club moved from North Pole into Fairbanks in 1975 where they danced at Walt's Hoedown Center, which had been built by square dancers on property owned by Walt Schuette, a well known promoter of Square, Round and Folk dancing in the area. The building is still located at the site on South Cushman and is used for dance instruction.
In 1981 the square dance community completed building the
Farthest North Square and Round Dance Center located at Pioneer Park
commonly known as the Alaskaland Dance Center.
The Santa's dance there every second and fourth Saturday and every Thursday
throughout the winter
and every Thursday during the months of June and July.
David Smith of Delta Jct, Alaska is the club caller. The club also holds classes for beginners and mainstream square dancing and line dancing, The club holds an annual dance weekend event known as the Spring Fling. The club
also has an After the Wallow Dance and dancing
