Three Texas squares - Herb Greggerson

Creator: Herb Greggerson

These are three examples from Texas caller Herb Greggerson.

  • 1) In Do-Si-Do Fun, he calls a square that relies heavily on the western docey-do: partner left hand turn, corner right hand, repeated. In this dance, he sometimes has two couples interacting, and at other times it's in a group of three couples. The tune is Uncle George, played by Slim and his Country Cousins.
  • 2) Around Just One
  • 3) Sashay Out
Greggerson was an important and influential figure in traditional western square dance. This link will take you to some other items in the SDHP library about him. The Related Items will offer other looks at the western do-si-do / docey-do figure.
