TRAILERS AND SQUARE AND ROUND

DANCE I SPRAYED IN HIS CLASS

ARE ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS. WHERE

IS THE LINE WHERE HE'S AT OTHER

COUPLE GOOD. MOST OF THEM HAVE

NEVER DANCED BEFORE IN THEIR

LIVES IN THIS CLASS WE'VE GOT

HERE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST

WE'VE HAD MY WIFE AND I DECIDED

TO DO SOMETHING TOGETHER.

SO WE DECIDED SQUARE DANCING.

SOUNDED LIKE A GOOD THING TO

DO. WHAT WE STARTED 2018.

I'M A YOUNG SQUARE DANCE OR

JUST AN OLD GUY. MY HUSBAND AND

I TOOK LESSONS IN 1980. WELL, I

STARTED IN 1966. I HAD ALL THE

COLORS. HELP LEARN AND

UNDERSTAND HOW TO PUT THE CALLS

TOGETHER AND HOW TO CALL.

THE CALLER TOLD EXACTLY WHAT

TO START WITH A RIGHT, NOT IS

ON ITS SOCIAL. IT'S IT'S

EXERCISE. IT'S AN ART. NO DOUBT

ABOUT

IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT

METHODS OF KEEPING WITH THE

DANCERS STRAIGHT IN THE

SQUARES. SO YOU HAVE TO KNOW

WHICH CALLS YOU CAN PUT WITH

OTHER CALLS. AND IT'S A

PROGRESSIVE THINGS TO MOVE.

THE DANCERS AROUND THE SQUARE,

OK, STAY WITH THE SITE. COUPLES

PROMENADE HALFWAY AROUND THE

IDEA IS FOR THEM TO ALL GET

BACK HOME IN THE SAME POSITION

THEY STARTED THE YEAR AT HOME

TO GO BACK THERE LIVE,

EVERYBODY HOME. THERE'S SOME

REALLY COOL STUFF YOU CAN DO

WITH PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, ON THE

FLOOR, JUST DOESN'T YOU JUST

GOT SECOND NIGHT TIME. I WILL

DO IT AGAIN. WELL, IT'S NOT A

HOKEY POKEY FOR WE DO IS MODERN

AMERICAN SQUARE DANCING.

THERE'S NO FANCY FOOTWORK.

KNOW THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN BALLROOM DANCING OR

ANY OTHER KIND OF DANCE IN A

SQUARE DANCE BECAUSE MY WIFE

LIKES TO DANCE AND I DON'T HAVE

ANY READ ON A PERSON CAN

ACTUALLY NOT HAVE RHYTHM AND

LEARN HOW TO SCORE. AND IF YOU

IS A LOT EASIER. BUT EVEN IF

YOU HAVE NO RHYTHM, WE CAN SEEM

ALL TIME AND I'M MOVING TO THE

MUSIC. BUT IF THEY CAN GET

WHERE THEY NEED TO BE, THEY

CAN DO IT IF WE DO MAKE

MISTAKES. BUT WE JUST MAKING

THE JOB OF NEVER SEEN BEFORE MY

WHOLE LIFE. BUT IF YOU'RE IN

ANY TYPE OF A THING WHERE YOU

MESS UP, SOME PEOPLE GET

OFFENDED SQUARE. DANCERS ARE

LIKE

I

IT IS FUN. I LOVE
