Classic Squares of 1960 - CALLERLAB demonstration
(2001)
This is the handout of a workshop held at CALLERLAB's 2001 convention. The goal was to illustrate square dancing in 1960, a time when modern square dancing was branching off in new directions. This session illustrates the kind of choreography that was common at that time. Jim Mayo starts the session by providing useful historical background, starting by a long discussion of how dancers needed to hold hands when doing hand turns.
The Additional Files provides a link to an hour-long audio recording of that session.
