Cabool, Missouri - Square dance with Bob Holt
This is the last of 11 clips filmed at a 1997 dance in Cabool, Missouri, featuring fiddler Bob Holt, a National Heritage Fellowship recipient. Calling is done by dancers in the squares, different squares are doing different dances at different times, and the footwork is characteristic Ozark jigging. Fiddler Bob Holt was known for setting rapid tempos.
By going to the videographer's Cabool playlist, you can easily find the other clips recorded at this dance. Similarly, the Ava playlist will bring up a set of dances recorded the next night in a nearby southern Missouri town.
A search of the SDHP collection for "Ozark" will produce many other clips and articles that are related to this one.
