Brown County square dance club carries on tradition

By Brandon S Morley · Thursday, Dec. 9,2004 12:47 a.m.

The square-dancing "Bucks and Does" of Nashville, Ind. perk up their ears, and raise their tails when they hear the sound of the music they love. The music starts at 7 p.m. every Wednesday night when Joe De Wees' feet trot around the linoleum floor of the Brown County Historical Society. He and his wife Amelia De Wees are dancing, along with 50 other people, in tandem, with a caller shouting instructions to him and the rest of the dance floor. As he glides across the tile, his black, thick soled shoes have the ease and limberness of Fred Astaire. You can see his 35-plus years of experience clearly.
