Retirement in The Villages, FL

Dancing on the Square to Live Concerts — Every Day

Sit and listen to high energy songs or slow, romantic music. Enjoy a half-price happy hour in a laid back setting.

Synopsis

• Live dancing music on the Square every night drove the decision to retire to The Villages. It made them unique from the dozens of other places we visited. The lively bands draw over 100 dancers for every song, pre-virus. The music is mostly rock, with some country, soul and other music mixed in. The 3 squares have reopened with a limited number of spectators and dancers.
• There is actually something else to do during retirement in The Villages, other than golf and the 3,000 clubs. Some of the 30 or 40 bands are pictured here. However, we dance about two hours every day.
