Though the pastime’s popularity has declined since 1976, when the National Square Dance Convention in Anaheim, Calif., drew a record crowd of 40,000, today New York — like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle and dozens of other American cities — supports a modest but resilient square-dancing and contradancing scene.
