We hope you will read CALLING TIPS by Larry Ingber, he hits the proverbial nail on the head. With our cover, we welcome you to Alabama in 1995! There is still a lot of articles coming into our office concerning the problem of a teaching list. If we all were smart we'd just utilize what we have and stop playing with the dancers. Callers are supposed to have a code of ethics for being instructors, in that they should teach the list we now have from CALLERLAB. Since most callers are members of this organization, it should follow that they give it the respect it deserves and use that which is provided for their use. Our dancers are not in the least worried about the list of basics or the teaching order. All they want to do is have a good time, and that is how it should be. We need to give our full support to our activity and stop arguing about lists! (co-ed Jeanne)

ALABAMA'S PLANTATION COUNTRY The "Black Belt" of central Alabama refers to a region of dark, fertile soil, perfect for growing cotton. And grow it they did! Alabama's economy became almost totally dependent on cotton crops in the early part of the 19th century.

The danc- ing took place in the lodge's beautiful dance hall and consisted of Mainstream squares, introductory rounds, contras, R C•RDS and solo line dances. Becky McUmber choreographed the featured round dance, "Kirkwood in the Spring" which everyone enjoyed. It all began with a welcome dance on Friday evening. Dance workshops were held on Saturday, with afternoon free time affording the guests a chance to relax by the Lake or explore the sights and shopping throughout the region.

e receive many questions on line dancing such as how do you do this and how Wdo you do that. We can usually answer these questions with explanations of body flow and styling. The one question which we have no answer for is why people write line dances that do not fit the music. Dances being done to 4/4 music that end on a half measure are bad, but dances that end on the first or third beat of a measure feel just terrible. We have many of them out there. When we contact the original choreographer we normally find their choreography is written to the correct phrase. So why do we have many dances out there being danced to flawed phrasing? Normally, someone has seen the dance who is not a dance instructor and writes down what they can remember of the dance. They then take it back home with them and teach their people the incorrect version. If the music is good it catches on and other people try to make it feel good to dance and change it again, and so on and so forth. Of course there are some people writing dances that wouldn't know 4/4 time music if they heard it and couldn't really care. I'm happy to say they are getting fewer because of the great work of organizations such as the NTA. This month we have a really cute dance which I'm sure you will like.

It is a specialized activity that DA has nothing to do with the Square Dance that captured the world's imagination twenty years ago.

While at Callerlab in Vancouver this past April, I had the opportunity to share some time with Jo Clinefelter, a long time friend, who lives in Lincoln, NE. She gave me a real quick-teach routine that she calls... LEFT TOE TAP This can be done to any number of songs including Achy Breaky Heart (slow), Boot Scootin' Boogie or Cadillac Ranch (faster).

Vine left (L, behind R, L, touch R toe); Vine right (turning 1/4 on 3rd step and touching your left toe); Tap left toe in front twice then step FWD (L) and touch right toe; BACK up 3 (R L R and touch L toe); Repeat all.

Another goody was offered at Callerlab in a session on the Community Dance Pro- gram. Flo Cadwell of Silver Spring, MD did a square dance figure that moved real smoothly. It was well received by all those attending the session. She referred to it as... FLO'S WALK (Boy's Walk) (8) Heads right and left thru (or promenade 1/2 way around). (8) Same two ladies chain. (8) Sides go forward and come on back. 4 (8) Lead to the right and circle to a line.

Swinging your pardner has been elimi- nated in some areas and among most "A" level dancers. Swinging is a most enjoy- able part of square dancing for some of us. I understand there are those who just can't swing because of physical problems, but in my area the dancers let you know quickly rry whether to swing or not, and it is no prob- lem.

PARTY LINE by Cathie Burdick RED, WHITE AND BLUE calls to mind the Fourth of July, Old Glory, parades and summer 10118% parties and picnics. Decorations and tableware in .411161111114411%11121 these colors are much easier to obtain than in years gone by, with good prices to be found at many discount office and paper goods shops. Why not have a good old patriotic theme party? It occurs to me as I write this that on Fourth of July, crowds of people wait around for fire works to begin. What a good time to have a dance exhibition or demo or a party that folks can watch while they wait! Think about broaching it to your town's Fourth Committee. Here's a great idea for a cake that will feed two squares. You might have several club members bring them to your festive party. I even have a calorie count of 211 calories per piece.

1 pkg. (18.25 ounces) white cake mix 1 container (8 ounces) frozen non-dairy whipped topping 1 Cup blueberries 3 pints strawberries, hulled, halved or quartered if large

Prepare and bake cake in 13 x 19 inch baking pan according to instructions. Cool cake and turn out onto serving platter. Frost the cake with the whipped topping. Decorate top of cake with blueberries in a square in the upper left-hand corner. Make 13 stripes across the rest of the cake top, starting with stripe of strawberries across the top, leaving a stripe of white showing, and repeat the strawberry stripes until you have 13. A scrumptious and light treat! Think of all the flag and patriotic songs that have been put out for square dancing: God Bless America, Grand Old Flag, America, Yankee Doodle Dandy, This Land Is Your Land. Resurrect the Grand Colonel Spin (sounds like patriotic music) for a fun mixer. The Fourth of July is a fun holiday. Square dancing can only make it better. And what could be more American than the dance that grew with the pioneers and became our favorite hobby? I/

56 American Squaredance, July 1994 THE CALLER NOTE SERVICES

We're always glad to get NOTES FOR EUROPEAN CALLERS, from Al Stevens/Rudi Pohl, Editors. There is al- ways such a good Viewpoint article. In the May issue covering "Thoughts About The Plus Level," they say, "It is my opinion that Plus level dancing should not replace your Lf1 Mainstream club dancing. This is the back bone of our square dance activity....No dancer or caller should enter into a Plus level program until he is competent at the Mainstream level." We here at ASD readily agree with this concept. The editors go on to say, "Callers should not teach their dancers a few of their favorite Plus calls and tell them they are Plus dancers. The first time they step into a hall labeled Plus and some strange caller clobbers them, they are ready to give up." "It takes a lot of time to become a Plus level dancer or caller." The Notes include material covering Cir- culates, From waves, Columns, Lines, etc. Also Facing Circulate. There is some ma- terial using "timing" in which the caller should deliver the critical last call before the Allemande Left. Timing makes for good smooth dancing!

JOHN'S NOTES, John M. Saunders, in the April issue, has a very good message in John's Comments. Addressing the faulty lack of teaching by callers for the dancer who is absent from the activity for a length of time, and finds they can't come back and start again where they left off. It also covers the fact that callers should be in charge of leadership in the activity. "Callers have to lead this activity and be models for the dancers." He also says, "Dancers don't want to be frustrated at any level. They want to enjoy themselves."

John takes us back to some interesting, fun basic dancing, some of which includes Dixie Chain (look that one up in Burlesons). For some interesting and different mate- rial, try using some 1 /2 Double Pass Thru, and even 3/4 Double Pass Thru. John also presents material using the Tag The Line family. He does some interesting fraction- ized material using Load The Boat. We found A-2 with Pass & Roll, giving callers

111-l LAIE There was a man who lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs. He was hard of hearing so had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes so read no papers, but he sold good hot dogs. He put signs up on the road telling how good they were. He stood on the side of the road and cried, "Buy.a hot dog mister," and they bought. He increased his meat and bun orders, and bought a bigger oven to take care of his trade. Finally he took his son out of college to help. But then something happened; his son said, "Father, haven't you been listening to the radio? Ha- ven't you been reading the papers? There's a big depression on, the father thought, well my son's been to college, he reads the papers and listens to the radio, and he ought to know. So the father cut down on his meat and buns order, took down the advertising signs and no longer bothered to stand on the highway to sell his hot dogs, and his hot dog sales fell overnight. "You're right son," the father said to the boy, "we certainly are in the middle of a great depres- sion." Reprint - New Zealand Cathedral Chimes Dec '78
