(Formerly the Bachelor Beauts and Swinging Mountaineers)

The Bachelor Beauts and Swinging Mountaineers, a longtime square dancing tradition in Central Oregon, joined forces on January 1, 2020 to become the High Desert Dancers (HDD).

At HDD dances you can expect a terrific variety of some of the best callers and cuers in Oregon and Washington.  Visitors are always welcome and although square dance attire is always welcome it is never required
