In a square dance, which couples face each other?

• A. Couples 1 and 3 face each other.
• B. Couples 2 and 4 face each other.
• C. All couples face the same direction.
• D. Everyone alternates facing the caller.

Answer: (A)

In square dancing, four couples stand at the corners of a square and all face toward the center. The dancers who are diagonally opposite each other are looking directly at one another, so those two couples face each other. If you picture the square and label the corners around it, the top-left couple faces the bottom-right couple. That’s why the correct description is that the couples on one diagonal face each other. The other options don’t fit the setup: saying all couples face the same direction isn’t accurate since there are two different directions toward the center from opposite sides, and the idea that everyone alternates facing the caller isn’t how the standard square-dance formation works.
