May 1987 be a year filled with all the good things that involvement in square dancing can provide: healthy exercise, good friends, sociability, and the exhilaration that comes with moving to music. Many success stories have come to our desks during the past few months—the parades, demonstrations and the balloon releases; the club orders for books and sample magazines because we have the biggest class ever." Truly, this year is some kind of an anniversary for square dancing, because so many clubs are celebrating years and years of existence during this season. We're willing to accept the 50 years of "western" dancing as beginnning in 1936 (although some looking forward" theme, have you have disputed the exact year); certainly thought about the thousands of dancers many clubs began 50 and 40 and 30 we follow, the thousands who are danc- years ago.

4 American Squaredance, January 1987 AMERICAN SQUARE DANCE THE STATE OF THE MAGAZINE

January has become the time when politicians recount the "state of the nation" and the "state of the state," so we'll take this first-of-the-year opportunity to recount some of the points about American Squaredance that we'd like you to know. We've heard from many of you and have answered those letters we could, but perhaps some other readers have the same questions and comments. For those who want expiration dances on mailing labels, here's the code: the first number on the top line gives you the month and year of expiration. For instance, 0187 means that your subscription expires with this issue. The dates are right there; we just have to get used to computer language with no punctuation! For those who want individual basics explained and diagrammed, here's our con- viction. When our magazine and Square Dancing started back in 1945 and 1948, respectively, books on square dancing were rare. The magazines were a major source of information. Today, diagrammed guides in book form are available from several sources, as well as from us. Rather than select one figure a month, which might not be the one you really wanted or needed, we suggest you invest in a book covering the particular program you are dancing, and have all the information at your finger- tips when you need it. We will try to include diagrams on all new figures and quarterly selections that are featured in future issues. Our goal for the magazine is to keep you up to date on the activity, and to offer ideas and suggestions to enhance your enjoyment of it, both through features and through advertising. Callers in remote areas still request that figures be included in record reviews. We had discontinued printing them several years ago when record releases mounted up to 40 or so a month; there's simply wasn't room to include them. Now record releases are fewer and you'll find that the figures are once more listed. We will try to continue the practice, but hope that readers will understand their omission if some month record releases overrun the pages reserved for the reviews. One reader stated his renewal check was only good if we discussed good styling, and spoke against the "bumps and twirls." We recommended Harold Bausch's column to him, among others, and said we had always spoken in favor of smooth dancing and good styling. We will continue to do so. You'll find in this issue a mixture of type from our new and old typesetters. We're getting acquainted with our new "state of the art" Powerview but some of this issue had to be completed on the old Editwriter. Next month we promise more consistency. Do you like the new 9-point type? We hope it will be easier to read for those who protested our small print . (Actually, the small print brought more news, but that's the choice you have to make.) To those who said we did not include easy dances, quarterly selections, record reviews, contra, we mentioned the various titles we have for articles, no doubt different than the ones they hunted. ASD was founded in 1945. For all these years, it has had a unique style and flavor. It was not the same as any other magazine, and was never meant to be. In the last 18 years, we worked hard not to make it a carbon copy of any other magazine on the market. We hope to continue that practice. To all who renewed their magazine after one year or after many with us, we say "Thank you!" We're glad to have you with us!

6 American Squaredance, January 1987 Welcome to Jack Berg (Chicago area caller/cartoonist/record producer) again on BY-LINE our back page. Jack was our cover cartoonist one year ago in January, 1986. Jo Jan Nunley is fast becoming a "regular contributor." Another of her articles on club organization and management appears this month. Gary Nevalainen is executive secretary of the Minnesota Callers Association. His contribution is a humorous recounting of hoedown titles, which tell a story all their own. Brian Bassett, co-editor of Round Dancer magazine, has been distributing a series of articles on round dancing for publication. Readers ask for more on rounds, so we receive Brian's articles gratefully. Marvin Gardner has done a humorous play on Shakespeare, but read it carefully—it contains some words of wisdom about styling! It is significant to note that the distinguished caller-leader Jack Murtha, our cover personality, comes from Yuba City, California, which in 1985 was rated by Rand McNally as the worst place to live. Humble beginnings traditionally produce greatness (Abe Lincoln, etc.) E.C.E.E.E.C.E.*EVEEWEEECEECEEIEEEEECE-EVEILEWEEIM

11 American Squaredance, January 1987 LITTLE STINGS An eastern fable tells of a potentate who demanded that there should be brought to Thoughts him the stings of a thousand bees killed , for the because one of their \ colony had dared New commit lese-majesty by stinging the hand of royalty. When they were brought in a tiny golden thimble, the Year king was so amazed to find that a thousand of the hypodermic points made such a little mass that he issued a manifesto to the effect that thereafter no person within the bounds of the kingdom should com- plain at the sting of a bee. The lesson of the fable is that petty annoyances hurt because they are exaggerated in the mind, that when they are seen in their actual proportions they are so slight as to merit only contempt. How much comfort would come to the majority of persons if they could but see the tiny size of the bee stings that lead them to acts of petulance, words of anger, expressions of reproach. The bee sting annoyances have caused lifelong breaches of friendship, broken up families, and caused anger and resentment to take the place of love and fealty. From Pen-Del Fed Facts

in square dancing. ., New dancers are not dependent on us we are dependent on them. ., New dancers are not an interruption of our dance they are the purpose of it. New dancers do us a favor when they come in; we are not doing them a favor. New dancers are part of our square dancing., they are not outsiders. New dancers are human beings with feelings., they deserve to be treated with respect. New dancers come to us with wants and needs to be filled; it is our obligation to fill them. tion New dancers deserve the roost courteous attenof we can give them. They are the lifeblood square dancing. Without them, we would have no square dancing. You were once a new dancer. Don't ever forget it! Petsche Happy Hal

Bette Thornton is a petite woman, and sometimes it is as difficult to find dresses for the petite as it is the larger sizes. Bette made this dress of royal blue lightweight polyester, called Posh. White eyelet provides the contrast, as well as white satin bows. The dress is made from Authentic pattern #322. The top is a fitted midriff-style bodice with a square neckline in front and back. The bodice front insert is trimmed with multiple rows of pregathered eyelet trim. The puffed sleeves with self-ruffle are accented with white satin ribbon bows. The gathered gore skirt has two rows of ruffles. Four of the skirt gores are pieced with the upper skirt of self-fabric and the lower skirt of white eyelet for contrast. The upper ruffle is scalloped to reveal the eyelet and the white bows then accent the scallops. This dress is a perfect choice for Bette's figure. Bette and her husband, caller Ray Thornton, are now retired, but calling more dances than ever. Their hometown is Swartz Creek, Michigan.

Nor do not saw the air too much with gross, incessant "styling," thus; but use all gently: for in the very time, tempo, and, as I may say, the whirlwind of the call, you must acquire and beget a manner that gives it rhythm. 0, it offends me to the soul, to see a robustious fancy- costumed fellow tear a dance to tatters, to very rags, to impress the eyes of the spectators, who, for the most part, understand nothing but exaggerated movement and costumes: I could have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing a dervish; it out-breaks a hreakdancer: pray you, avoid it.

1st DANCER: 0, we will.

HAMBONE: Be not too sluggard, neither, but let the dance be your tutor: suit the action to the call, the action to the music; with this special observance, that you o'erstep not the meter of the music; for anything so overdone is outside the purpose of dancing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to move, as 'twere, in mirror to the tune; to move to the rhythm, step to the beat, and do the figures of the call to the time and meter allowed. Now, this overdone or come tardy off, though it awe the unskillful, cannot but make the knowledgeable grieve; the censure of the one must, you will allow, o'erweigh a whole auditorium of others. 0, there be dancers that I have seen dance, —and hear others praise, and that highly,— pardon my saying it, that, neither having the acuity of square dancers, nor the rhythm of square dancers, waltzers, nor rockers, have so strutted and made such show that I have thought some puppeteer's apprentices had made men, they danced so abominably.

1st DANCER: We tend to reject that style.

HAMBONE: 0, reject it altogether. And let those that like to show off do not more than is called for them: for some there be of them that will add extravagant figures and flourishes, to impress themselves and some quantity of bar- ren spectators, too; though, in the meantime, the meter of the music and the call of the dance have passed beyond them: by Marvin Gardner Reprint only with permission that's villainous, and shows a pitiful ambition in the fool that friends of square dance ltd. uses it.

American Sguaredance, January 7987 37 CALLERLAB UPDATE Red Bates, chairman of the special committee established to review the Mainstream and Plus programs to develop a 25-week Learn To Dance program, is pleased to announce the completion of the committee's work. The results reflect the surveys and thinking of many leaders and are offered to those callers and clubs who wish to try an experimental program. This program is designed for those areas and clubs who have requested a 25-week Learn to Dance program using the most popular calls from the Mainstream and Plus programs. The listing of calls reflects the same numbering scheme used on the existing MS program, and all Plus calls included are identified with a *Plus* following the call. Mainstream and Plus calls not included in this 25-week program should be taught through workshops following the formal instruction period. This program is designed as a "feeder" program for Plus clubs. Individual modifications to suit local condi- tions are anticipated. No effort should be made to pressure anyone into teaching with this experimental program unless the sponsoring organization makes that decision. Generally speaking, only standard and the more common formations and arrangements are recommended. If one tried to use all allowable formations and arrangements for each call, this program cannot be completed in 25 weeks. Callers and clubs who use this program are urged to document their experiences so that Callerlab may review and consider any proposed changes prior to formal adop- tion. Questions should be communicated, in writing, to Callerlab, Box 679, Pocono Pines PA 18350.

Other producers feel that if any individual artist (regardless of how many different tunes are involved) has combined sales of 100,000 copies, then he or she should be considered to have gone gold.

American Squaredance. January 1987 51 by Bob Howell easy I e\../

With all the parades—Cotton Bowl, Rose Bowl— on New Year's Day, let's begin 1987 with a smooth moving dance parade. Joe McMenamin of Spring Valley, California, wrote one which he calls... SAN DIEGO PARADE FORMATION. Partner at side in a big circle. MUSIC. Zippy march or 64-count music; Seventy-six Trombones, TNT 250. in four steps INTRO: Ladies 1-8 Ladies out four steps Men in four steps 9-16 Men out four steps To the corner balance 17-24 Swing 25-32 Promenade 33-40 Wheel around Promenade back 41-48 Cast ladies 3/4 In to center 49-56 California twirl Promenade out 57-64 Cast ladies half Ladies in four steps

Bob Dalsemer of Baltimore, Maryland, has written a booklet called New England Quadrilles and How To Call Them, available from the Country Dance and Song Society. It covers the essentials for calling New England quadrilles and features several dances both by Bob and other New England callers. Here is a real simple one to begin the year. FIRST NIGHT QUADRILLE Al—Head couples • forward and back, same four circle left. A2—Same four circle right; same four right-hand star. B1—All allemande left corners; grand right and left. 62—Do-si-do partners; promenade partners home 'Repeat for side couples, all four ladies, all four men.

And with the new tax reform going into effect on January 1, John Eubanks of Joplin, Mo., calls one that we'd like to believe... BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE MUSIC: Big Mac 077 OPENER: Circle left Love belongs to everyone, the best things in life are free Allemande left your corner, turn a right hand around your own Allemande left your corner, weave the ring, wind and weave it in and out, looking for your doll Swing that lady around and promenade the hall, cause love belongs to everyone The best things in life are free.

52 American Squaredance, January 1987 With the formality of dressing up for New Year's Eve and the fetish of some contra dancers for "no hands' ' figures, Coy Cowan of Tampa, Florida, pokes a little fun when he writes the routine for the Very Proper Contra. Nobody touches hands for any reason, not even in the long lines, for as he says, "What man wants to hold hands with another man." Here is a real spoof that actually dances beautifully. VERY PROPER CONTRA FORMATION: Proper Duple MUSIC: Stan Hamilton, Vol. 4, Corn Rigs (Chord pick-up for) Everybody forward 'n back — — — — Actives cross go below one In your duple ladies change — — Change back Actives center do-sa-do — — — — Active couples slide thru — — Cast off — — Right and left over — — — — — — Right and lett back Everybody forward 'n back

Here is the Callerlab traditional OS for the first quarter of 1987, sent by Ken Kernen, chairman of the committee. RIP AND SNORT DESCRIPTION From a circle of eight, all keeping hands joined, the designated couple leads across the set and goes under the arch formed by the opposite couple. the lead (designated) couple only drops partner's hand and separates from each other leading the entire circle under the arch, with the lady going right (gee) and the man left (haw) around the outside until they can again join hands in a circle. The couple forming the arch ducks under their own arms without releasing hands (wring the dishrag) and the circle is back to its original position. All hands remain joined throughout except as indicated above for the designated couple. CAUTION: When the arching couple does the dishrag turn under their own arms, they must raise their joined hands as high as possible while moving towards each other and then turning under. If dancers are uncomfor- table raising their arms, simply have them let go of the hands forming the arch as the lines pull through, then turn back and reform the circle. CALL: All join hands and circle to the left (First couple) rip and snort, go down the center and cut 'em short Lady go gee and the gent go haw, now circle to the left with your pretty little taw. Repeat for couples two, three and four. For additional fun and variety, try youngest couple, shortest, tallest, skinniest, prettiest, or richest.
