  In September 1984 Chet Jazak gathered 14 couples at Highland Elementary School to begin 30 weeks of square dance lessons.  In May of 1985 twelve couples graduated; and, helped by Chet Jazak and the Brecksville Department of Human Resources, 8 couples began with a dance in December of 1985.  However, because joining the Cleveland Federation was vital to being recognized by other clubs and for publicity purposes, the first official dance was January of 1986.  Of the charter member, only Cheryl and David Storgard are still dancing.

Our club has gone through many changes.  Originally the club met on the second Friday of the month, but a conflict with another area club caused a change to the third Friday.  After Highland School, we met at St. Michael's Woodside, St. Matthias Church, Brecksville Methodist Church and now dance at the Broadview Heights Recreation Center.

Ed and Rita Mickas were are first president couples followed by Harold and Marian Davidson and Cheryl and David Storgard.  Brecksville has had a history of special dances.  The first specials were with national callers Jerry Story and Bob Baier and later with local callers.
