    FAQ:

    Q: What is Square Dancing?
    A: Square dancing is a traditional American folk dance that involves four couples arranged in a square formation. Each couple stands on one side of the square, facing the center. The dance is characterized by a series of steps and movements that are called out by a "caller." These calls are choreographed patterns that the dancers follow in time with the music.


    Q: What are the square dance calls?
    A: Example of a Basic Call Sequence:

    Circle Left/Right: All dancers join hands and walk in a circle to the left or right.

    Do-Si-Do: Dancers pass each other right shoulder to right shoulder, circle back-to-back, and return to their original positions.

    Swing Your Partner: Partners link arms and turn around each other.

    Promenade: Partners walk around the square in a counter-clockwise direction.
