(David Taffet/Dallas Voice) The LGBTQ Pegasus Squares host a fly-in in Richardson DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Pegasus Squares, Dallas’ longtime LGBTQ square dance group, is holding its third fly-in — Scoot Back to Big D — this weekend, and group spokesman Wally Ropchan said he expects the event to bring in about 70 people for square dancing at the Hilton in Richardson Ropchan said he just moved to Dallas from Philadelphia, but he’s been square dancing for 30 years.
And he’s already an officer with Pegasus Squares. He has, he said, found new friends through LGBTQ square dancing groups around the country.
Ropchan has run a number of similar fly-ins across the country. So just what does it take to create a good event? A good caller.
