HAT SEEMS to have been only a few short years ago, the caller of Western W Square Dancing carried virtually his entire stock of calls in his head. The other day we ran across a small black looseleaf notebook which contained the relatively small number of calls that a versatile caller might be expected to know in the years just prior to the war. In 1939 Lloyd Shaw came out with his Cowboy Dances which contained a rather complete collection of almost 100 calls of that time. Today the caller has all but given up his little black notebook of calls. Instead he relies, to a great extent, on the continual flow of new material which is constantly being poured out by specialists in both the square and the round dancing fields. The dances of a few years ago could each be distinguished from the other by pattern variations. Today's dances are simply rearrangements of a number of basic movements, and the true originality comes when the composer dares to be different and at the same time produces a comfortable and smooth pattern utlizing known movements that are enjoyed by the majority of dancers. In one year Sets in Order prints a total of more than five times the number of dances that appeared in some of the early volumes, and it is thanks to a dedicated group of editors that this material has been condensed from an even larger collection which could quite easily number some twenty-five hundred dances each year. The evolution of a dance, which you see printed on the following pages, goes some- thing like this. Somewhere along the line an individual — a caller, teacher, or a dancer — gets an idea for a new dance. If it's to be a patter call the idea is fairly simple. In this instance, a caller will begin with an idea, visualizing a pattern he has in mind, making it flow through a use of various available basics and then fitting his words so that they phrase and fit the acceptable square dance jargon. If he is a caller he may workshop the dance with one or more of his groups, reworking the material as he feels necessary. Once satisfied with his contribution he sends it in to Sets in Order. All patter call material reaching Sets in Order offices is first of all acknowledged by postcard. The material is then sent to our square dance editor, Bob Page, in San Leandro, California. Bob and his wife, Nita, go over the quantities of material that is submitted and from the assortment select those dances which are written correctly and which ap- pear to be possible, successful movements. Once each month, armed with this collection, Bob and Nita hold their Sets in Order workshop and all of this material is danced, checked over and noted. Returning to his home Bob marks the various dances which he recommends on a basis of successful interpretation, originality and comfort in execution. The dances are not rewritten or changed. When finished, the dances are returned to Sets in Order and dance coordinator June Berlin retypes all of the material for the typesetter. Except in special occurrences each

3 of the patter call dances in a given issue of the magazine is a product of a different author. If there are several okayed dances from any one contributor, an effort Is made to place these in various issues. Once the dances have been returned from the typesetter June proofreads the typeset material against the original copy. At the same time a com- plete set of the galley proofs of these (latices is given to Dottie Barkell, who with the help of caller Ken Collins, sees that all of the material is once again danced to be sure that it has been interpreted correctly. Occasionally a line will be discovered missing, or on occasions the originator of a dance will he (loll ied regarding the meaning of a particular phrase. Once having passed all this investigation the dance is ready to be printed and included as part of the monthly eight page wink:dm') in your copy of Sets in Order. Singing calls are handled a little different .V.ly. kl 1 ( )1.(.N, 1 W.1111 edits 11—11'11101111h lice end Reviews in Sets in Order, holds a monthly woll..,hop of callers and (lancets in Sets in Order Hall. At the end of each workshop period he selects lour of the singing calls which he and the dancers have rated above average. (-all sheets included with thesi• iccords are then retyped. and the copy is sent along with the other material to the typesetters. Round dances get equally careful handling. All the round dance material coming into Sets in Order is handed over to Joe Facile'', our round dance editor. Joe, working with a committee of assistants, dances and endeavors to evaluate the various routines. From those he feels are the most successful, he selects three or four, trying if possible to have a variety of rhythms. At the same time he aims for variety in ability levels so that some of the dances are aimed at round dance specialists while some are directed especially to beginners and others to those he lists at the "square dance level." These selections are then retyped in accordance with Sets in Order's standard round dance write-up form and are then sent to the typesetters. The special monthly drills by George Elliott, the contras collected by Don Armstrong, the experimental lab dance examples coming from various sources, and all other material is all assembled by June, carefully proof read several times, and then finally "put to bed," printed and mailed to you. So you can see, from all of this, that a great deal of care is taken to present what we feel is the best and most representative of the yearly harvest of dance material. This Year Book is merely a reprinting of all of these dances and has been brought about due to the fact that so many readers of Sets in Order resist the temptation to cut up their monthly issues. Instead, they would rather have the complete collection indexed and available for their immediate use. We do hope you'll enjoy your copy.

Fondest regards,

4 RATHER ENCOURAGING NOTE SNOWS up in this collection. There seems to be A more variety and perhaps a hint or two that the composers of patter calls are The looking to some of the tried and proven patterns of several years ago in order to bring variety into this particular field. Callers and dancers perhaps are getting a PATTER little more particular and are looking for something that is a bit above the ordinary. Once again we tip our hats to the many who have contributed the dances you'll see on the following pages. As in the past, you'll notice several new names squeez- CALLS ing in here and there. Chances are you'll hear more of them in coming years.

33 SINGING CALLS

HE "FROSTING ON THE CAKE" many dancers call them. Singing calls T are the relaxing time of the evening. They provide an opportunity for the dancer to just coast. They give the caller a chance to relax and yet show off his versatility. Not all callers actually sing their singing calls.

As ex- plained in the introduction, these singing calls are all danced by a group of callers and dancers and analyzed for their smoothness, adaptability and novelty. From the lot, four are selected each month and appear in the workshop section. The dances on the foregoing pages are reprints of the dances that appeared during 1963. For a thorough analysis of each singing call, you will want to avail yourself of these monthly record reviews. In addition to the title, the record label and the number, you will find the key, the tempo and the range in which the record is recorded. A description of the music and the instruments which appear on the record is also included.

GEORGE ELLIOTT MATERIAL

ARIETY, the keynote for the success of so many callers, is the subject of the V monthly workshop sections edited by George Elliott. George, a caller for a good number of years, has the unusual knack of being able to create unique and comfortable patterns from the many basics available today. He will select a theme each issue and then present a variety of drills which a caller may use with his dancers, Some are extremely simple; others are more complicated. All can be sat- isfactorily used by callers in the majority of their work.

71 The ROUND DANCES

HE COUPLE DANCE side of the square dance picture at one time consisted mainly T of a few free style dances, such as the waltz, polka, schottische and two-step. Today, with most of the emphasis on the two-step and the waltz, round dance com- posers are supplying the market with literally hundreds of patterns every year. From those dances available, Sets in Order's round dance editors have selected 51 for 1963. Some of these are extremely simple and designed for one-night stands while others, of a more difficult nature, are designed for the round dance special- ists. Whatever your preferences you'll find some of these rounds designed just for you.

103 EQUIVALENT MOVEMENTS and ZERO MOVEMENTS THEIR PLACE AND USAGE IN THE ART OF SQUARE DANCE CALLING by Tom Tobin, Los Angeles, California

Recently, at a meeting of the Southern California Callers Association, one of the mem- bers, Tom Tobin, conducted a workshop on the use of equivalent movements as an aid to the caller in conducting a more interesting and valuable square dance program. Be- cause of its general interest to all square dancers and callers, we are printing some of his words and the majority of the material he presented that day in this article. — Editor

NE time, in calling a dance, I found that I had the couples in an Eight Chain Thru O position do a Right and Left Thru — a full turn around — then a Left Allemande. Ac- tually, in this particular dance there was nothing wrong with this call except that these dancers had difficulty in doing it. Rather than scrapping what I considered was a good dance I continued to use it but substituted the call Square Thru three-quarters around and then a Left Allemande. Actually I had accomplished basically the same end result, but by intelligent use of an equivalent movement or series of movements the dance became comfortable and therefore logical with the dancers who were dancing it. I find, as a caller and one who enjoys writing dances, that equivalents can be extremely helpful. On occasions they allow me to maneuver the dancers through the same basic floor pattern, but by careful selection of the calls I can end the figure so that the dancers have either hand or both hands free. The use of equivalents, I find, can often allow for a more comfortable movement from one position to another. After experimenting with these things for quite some time, I would say that equival- ents should be used to satisfy any of the following needs: (1) If the use of an equivalent movement will tend to make a dance smoother. . (2) If, by the use of a substitute movement, I can make a "too difficult" dance more danceable. (3) If , on the other hand, the use of an equivalent will make a "too simple" dance more interesting. (4) If they will allow the caller to be more flexible as to the floor's ability without changing his basic program. (5) If, by inserting equivalents made up of basics already familiar to the dancers, they help the caller-teacher extend his drill material. Because of the immensity of this project, I have purposely limited myself to basic equivalents for the following 6 movements: (1) A Half Square Thru (2) A Three-quarter Square Thru (3) A Full Square Thru (4) A Right and Left Thru (5) A Pass Thru (6) One and three lead to the right and circle to a line I think you'll find that these are among the most frequently used movements. You'll note the frequency with which the Star Thru appears. I find it a very useful tool. When working out with these equivalents remember that the purpose is to take the subject, such as "a Half Square Thru," and work in as many substitute movements using the various basics to achieve the same end result. Different hands may be free at the end of the exercise, but the same end result and facing direction has been achieved.

ZERO MOVEMENTS

ERO MOVEMENTS are another matter similar in usage to equivalent movements. I doubt Z if there are any callers who haven't called a Star Thru — Right and Left Thru — Star Thru, in that order, when time was needed to shuffle the pages of memory. Zero movements are the basic ingredients of all square dances. We start through a series of basics and, as a rule, the end product is a return of the dancer to his original partner in the same sequence around the square as when the call started. Basically, this in itself is a zero movement. For purposes of this article I'll define a Zero movement as being a few basic movements that end the dancers in the same relative position around the square. I feel that zero movements should be incorporated into the dance if they result in any of the following: (1) Enlarging on a simple dance and making it more interesting to the dancers. (2) Pulling the dancers together and into rhythm with each other when there is a wide variance in dancing ability present. (3) When teaching the beginner to orient himself in a dance. (4) Aiding the caller-teacher in preparing drill material that will be danced smoothly and effectively. 106 (5) Allowing the caller a little more thinking time in the middle of en extremely rapid- moving dance sequence. Here, then, are the zero movements which I place in three major categories. Now that you've had an opportunity to go over these various equivalent movements, perhaps you would like to try to design some yourself. Actually, you'll find it quite simple and you may realize that you're doing this sort of (long unconsciously every time you call. Drills such as this stress the great unlimited variation of movements that can be ac- complished with relatively few basics. Square dancing should be continually interesting, and to maintain interest these various tricks could very well be your answer.
