A square dance class was started on the second Friday of January 2001 by Al and Amber Tarver at Beulah United Methodist Church after Al was contacted by Buddy Edwards with interest in getting a square club in the Gilbert area.

The decision to form a club was made and the club was named the "Dixie Strutters."

The club had their first meeting on May 11, 2001 where officers were elected and other club business was discussed.

The charter members were:

Dan & Belinda Brushwood
Bobby & Flo Price
Buddy & Jane Edwards
Steve & Susan Pruitt
Kenny & Tonya Epting
Sherry Rowe
Bryon & Kim Knight
Al & Amber Tarver
Ruby Livingston
Donnie & Pam Wilson

The Dixie Strutters held a second square dance class and graduated 11 new dancers into the World of Square Dancing.
The club will have its Anniversary Dance in June of each year.
