The South Australian Square Dancing Society Inc
Playground in Melbourne

Each caller can choreograph the alike song with a diverse mix of moves depending on his and the dancer's capabilities, thereby always making square dance diverse hard yet an enjoyable activity for either sex. Good callers will call the moves in a 'freestyle' fashion making it a mirth workout or a vast 'hoedown' to challenge the dancers and have fun at the alike time. Many people try square dancing as a way to socialize, others go for exercise, meeting fresh friends, fun, fitness, stress relief, 'brain food' and all the health benefits associated with an lively aerobic workout they can all enjoy. This activity is called Square Dancing, which I believe means to move with the beat of the music. A dance where the caller gives us the calls at the appropriate pace for us to keep moving and where we, as dancers, execute the calls as they are supposed to be done, is truly a attractive sight. Of course, the reality is that callers don't everlasting present the calls at the correct time and dancers do make mistakes and have to be corrected. If you didn't see something, ask someone at the break, but don't terminate in the middle of the square and ponder it. Then when you are promenading home, you can elevate your hand and question for a repeat or a walk through or whatever, but you cannot yell quit the tape, I don't see it. At minimum you will get more practice and you can question questions at the break. The goal is for the square to get through the sequence, not fair one or two people. Most calls can be done from many positions even though maximum callers may only routinely use them from a few. The basic and mainstream definitions are the most imperative because they are the building blocks for all tomorrow calls learned. And back to teamwork, if the person beside you seem to be hesitating, saying the definition a little louder so they can hear it may mean the difference between continuing to dance or squaring up at home waiting for the after sequence. The way I learned to identify quickly was to practice at a below level. If you get the total square into a right hand column you have a chance of continuing with the sequence. We do a tremendous amount of turning and casting in square dancing, and being a quarter off can, and will, often burst the square down. Then if the call was lock it, the heads in the middle would do the call lock it, but the sides should also move a step forward to bring the square back to an appropriate size. Unused Square Dancing is all about dancing, mirth and enjoyment for all and square dancers reach from all walks of life. It is a team effort between the 8 dancers in each square AND the caller and all the sets being called to. With maximum dance forms you then have to learn to store your feet in specific arrangements, you have to learn to walk in a diverse way which is unnatural. And as walking is one of the maximum automatic things we do, square dancing becomes so easy to learn and master. The sequences are generally made up on the spot. Square dancing is a mirth and easy way to exercise both mind and body. You'll find it's easy to learn and lot's of fun.
