JUNE 1967 SQUARE DANCE THE MOST IMPORTANT MAGAZINE IN THE SQUARE DANCE FIELD!

In almost every form of human endeavor there is someone who stands out . . . some- one that others point to as their leader. Among national square dance publications, most nationally known callers, leaders and dancers consider SQUARE DANCE as the leading magazine in the field. This No. 1 position has been EARNED by a dedi- cated staff and contributors over a span of twenty years. Its pages have been filled by some of the foremost leaders in square dancing . . . people who love dancing and have worked hard to see it prosper. SQUARE DANCE is not filled with trivia, but attempts to get to the "meat" of the subject matter quickly. It knows square dancers are busy people who don't want to waste time reading worthless information. SQUARE DANCE wants QUALITY and not quantity, and is continually looking for features and artic/es that fulfill this editorial policy. If you're an advertiser who wants the "cream" of the square dancers in the nation as your customers, why not get more details about SQUARE DANCE.

1622 North Rand Road, Arlington Heights, III. 60004 Associations are the future of the square dance movement. As associations on local, state, regional, and national levels grow in stature and accomplishment, square dancing will grow. Recently about 25 callers and leaders repre- senting five regions met to organize the Great Lakes Area Council of Callers Association- GLACCA. Two of our staff members—Stan Burdick and Willard Orlich—are members of the temporary steering committee for GLACCA. The third member of this committee is Deuce Williams from Dearborn, Mich. The purposes of this organization are to interchange ideas and concerns, work on com- mon problems, and set up training events, ac- cording to information from Stan. Specific immediate projects include investigating a low cost liability insurance plan for callers toward personal liability at all dance events and setting Publisher and Editor up a training clinic which will be of interest ARVID OLSON to callers at all levels of experience. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and parts of New York and Pennsylvania are covered in the wide council region. Other areas may be included as interest develops in GLACCA. THE Some areas have this type of organization of callers over a large region with great success and potential benefits. Just the fellowship of meeting together is stimulating and worth- while. HRH'S Square dancing has grown to the point where it must have professional guidance and help. This service can best be given through associa- tions both for dancers and for callers. Educa- tion and advancement are two of the primary PAGE goals of any association. Areas that do not have strong associations should take time now to get organized. The National Square Dance Association has been working hard to formulate a plan of ac- tion to guide square dancing on a national level. This master plan will be ready for implemen- tation early this fall. Representatives from the NSDA will be visiting square dance organizations around the country. This has been done on a limited basis during the past year. The next meeting of GLACCA is scheduled for July. For specific information, write to Stan Burdick, 1514 Oakmont Ln., Sandusky, Ohio 44870. Stan will be happy to add you to the mailing list. We're happy to see the formation and de- velopment of GLACCA. Stan, Willard, and Deuce are to be commended for their work and effort, in getting this organization under way. ❑ 3 SQUARE VOLUME 22, Number 10 DANCE JUNE 1967 Formerly American Squares

CALLERS' QUESTIONS

Last month we touched on "styling" or comfortable dancing with just a bit on square dance etiquette. Square dancing has a certain "DO and DON'T" set of rules peculiar only to itself, a few of which are as follows: DO—be aware at all times that square dancing is a "courtesy" recreation rather than one of competition. DO—keep smiling even if you're angry with yourself for "goofing". The other seven people in the set might think you're frowning at them. DO—recognize your corner, not only what she's wearing but who she is. Next to your partner, she's the most important person in your square. DO—be quiet and attentive to the caller during instructions even though you know what he's trying to explain. Perhaps someone else in your set needs to be briefed. DO—wear proper square dance attire—long sleeves for men, ladies full skirts. DO—remember to treat all the ladies as you would want other men to treat your own wife. The ladies always seem to treat other men a little gentler than their own spouse. DO—wear a name badge at all times. It might surprise some of the oldsters to learn that they are not as well known or important as they think they are to others. DO—accept or admit you "goofed" this time. Next time it could be someone else's turn so don't feel bad. And when you goof—goof gracefully and try to recover the best you can in order to save the set from breaking up entirely. DO—remember who you are every time you square up, heads, sides, what couple, and in some cases whether or not a boy or girl. The latter can be determined by stooping down. If you see daylight, you're a boy. DO—end each dance with a flourish, applause and thanks to all in the set and mean it. DO—support a club as a dues paying member. The life blood of the square dance picture flows thru this avenue and is the backbone of the recreation. If everyone was a "free loader", there would be no one to pay the bills of the activity. DO—make it a practice to thank guests for coming, the caller for his efforts, the club president where you're visiting. In general, thank everyone who made your evening out a pleasant one. 17 DO—pretend to be having a good time even if you are bored. Perhaps the other seven are thoroughly enjoying themselves. If you want a real challenge, try dancing with the seven weakest dancers there and pull them thru a dance single-handed. Maybe you are that good.

DO—take your turn at responsibility in the square dance picture as officers in a club, on the serving committee, in any way that you can help others rather than be catered to always.

DON'T—be a "competitive" dancer; i.e., selfish rather than cooperative. It takes eight people to make a good set. DON'T—be over exuberant. Your yells might drown out the caller's next com- mand for everyone around you. Learn to be "noisy" at the right inter- vals; i.e., during a right and left grand but not at the allemande left or during an allemande thar patter but not at the change of command point.

DON'T—be a "know-it-all". Let the caller be the instructor unless you are asked personally after the tip is over. DON'T—cut in or out of a set unless you know how. And if you are cut out, , leave gracefully.

DON'T—be guilty of "horse-play" unless you know the set would not be of- fended—or the club. DON'T—take that extra swing with your partner. It might make her late for the left allemande with her waiting corner. DON'T—forget to trade a dance, especially with the guests. And don't overlook the caller's wife. She might like to dance rather than sit all the time. At least ask her. DON'T—sit like a bump on a log when another couple is needed for a set. If you want to sit out a tip, disappear into the wash room or some place where you are not seen. This saves embarrassing the three couples waiting for a "friend" to join them. DON'T—cry about the hall, the sound, the crowd, the tacky floor. Think positive thoughts so others around you aren't affected. They might be having the best time ever. DON'T—spin or twirl the ladies unless you know she likes it. Let her decide if she wants that extra twirl. No one ever got a sore arm by not spinning. DON'T—set up sets of four couples prearranged to go out on the dance floor. You insult the ability of the other dancers around you and defeat the democratic quality of square dancing itself. If you are sincere about dancing with friends in the same set, stand across from each other and allow any two couples to join you that happen to come along. DON'T—insist on dancing your way when visiting other areas. If these people dance palms up in the alamo, go along with it. If they do or do not stir the bucket, do as the Romans do but keep your opinions to your- self unless asked. 18 Centers pass thru, centers in, Califor- BASIC nia twirl Ends fold, double pass thru, centers in BREAKDOWN Cast off 3/4 around, star thru Right and left thru, insides arch, dive CENTERS IN (or OUT) thru by Gordon Blaum, Miami, Fla.
