East Tennessee Square Dance Calls
This 1938 collection of more than 50 dances was written in Oklahoma, where the author explains that he has received "many requests for some East Tennessee square dance calls, or figures." He adds that "the dance figures contained herein are common to both East Tennessee and Oklahoma, as well as to other parts of the country..."
The dances in this collection are for four-couple squares rather than for big sets as described in Smoky Mountain Square Dances, published at about the same time. Included is a helpful index and also a list (p. 65) of 20 commonly played tunes.
Subjects: Southern / Appalachian / Four-couple squares
