"Resources In Learning To Square Dance"
1. Once you have decided to go to a class to learn Square Dancing, you find out how much fun it is. But as you learn, you also find some additional information and resources would be helpful. One of the best is Taminations. When you link to their site, they use a block (Male) and a circle (Female) to indicate the individuals in a square. Each couple in the square is a different color. All calls from all possible positions are covered from Basic Level through Challenge C-3B. You can set the call in motion as slow or fast and follow what each dancer is doing in the call. Definitions are included. You can download this program to your computer or cell phone. It becomes a great resource when you need to review calls.
2. Another good resource uses a different approach. In the case of Video Square Dance Lessons, this resource used live dancers with a caller to show the actual square dancing. There are two ways to view these videos, either by requesting each call through a call index or by requesting a lesson index within Basic/Mainstream or Plus Level. There are related multiply calls in each lesson index. Spend a little time and view these videos. You will find it is another great resource.
