Product Description
Square Dance Fest' CD Squares, Contras and other dances with calls by
American caller Margot Gunzenhauser. Most of the dances on the CD are
suitable both for school use - with special emphasis on dances that
look good in exhibition - or for home use at parties or get-togethers.
However, note that the Sewing Machine and Texas Special require a
relatively large group of people to be danced easily.
As far as the level of difficulty goes, the Contra dances are the ones that will be most difficult to explain to people who are not used to square dancing. Otherwise, most of the dances on the CD are relatively simple.
Square Dance Fest
1. The Road to Copenhagen
2. Birthday Special (“longways”)
3. Texas Star (square)
4. Texas Special (couple mixer)
5. The Sewing Machine (trio facing trio)
6. Aw Shucks (contra)
7. Forest Hills Revisited (couple mixer)
8. High Country Mixer (mixer)
9. Longways California (“longways”)
10. Head Couples Separate (square)
11. Ladies Tunnel Through (square)
12. Orono Special (contra)
About the dances:
The dances chosen are ones that we felt would be appropriate both for home parties (with a couple of exceptions) and for demonstrations by school groups or others. The accompanying booklet describes the dances and also contains a glossary of the terms used. More dances, including some that are a little more challenging, are available from us in the book Square Dancing at School, which includes instructions for these 12 dances and 32 others, as well as numerous tips, hints and suggestions to help you teach them. The book also includes 6 short cassette tapes with the instrumental (uncalled) versions of the 12 tunes on this CD.
