Dixie Folk syllabus - 1951
Creator: Ralph Page, Fred Collette (July 15-22, 1951)
This is the square dance portion of the syllabus from the Dixie Folk and Square Dance Institute held in Georgia in 1951. New Hampshire caller Ralph Page presented a selection of typical New England dances of the time, as well as a few of his own compositions. Georgia caller Fred Collette included a wider variety, including some Western figures, and both men appear to have included some older quadrilles in their programs. It's interesting to compare this syllabus with others in our collection from about the same time.
