March 1987 3 Have you heard "authorities" tell you that square dancing is in a "decline"? Have numbers of dancers and/or clubs in your area decreased, so that you tend to 1111 agree? Everywhere we travel, the ques- tion that seems most likely to be asked is, how are square dance numbers in your area? We'll discuss our answer to that in a minute but let's think about that "decline." Do you think square dancing might just fade away from being a popular recrea- 1114‘ tion? What factors might cause this? Is it 107 because no one cares enough to do the .10.111 logistical tasks—finding dance halls, i4lger booking callers, collecting dance fees? Is it because the energy invested in danc- ing is hard to muster when sitting before What we tell the questioners, from a VCR/TV is so much easier? Or is square reports received here, is that in the loca- dancing no longer the fun it was last tions where special promotions and month, last year, or five years ago? celebrations were held last summer and Think for a few moments about a life fall, square dance classes are proceeding without square dancing. Would it be more with good numbers, some larger than in pleasant? (Think of the extra closet space previous years. By no means, could we you would recover.) Or would you lose part state that square dancing is in a of the fun of living? Would you miss see- "general" decline. However, reports do ing your best friends? Would you miss still reach us of clubs folding, of failed hours of healthful activity? Would you just classes, of declining attendance at plain miss the dancing? Does square "specials." dancing really mean something to you? Have you put two and two together yet? These may seem like idle questions. What are you and your dancing friends Certainly we don't know and may never going to do? Do you care enough to in- hear your answers. But somehow, the vest your time in making square dancing answers to these questions, and the available to others, so that you'll continue answer to the question of how square to be able to enjoy it? Only you have the dancing is doing in your area, are related. answer! scope— big mac records 4.

At pre- sent, we plan to include full color in two magazines per year, with the next color sec- BY-LINE tion appearing in October. Perhaps more frequent color inclusion will be possible in the future. All of the authors appearing in ASD this month have submitted before so their names will be familiar to readers. Their themes cover a wide range of topics and opinions. Jo Jan Nunley treats a subject that arises more frequently in the present day than it did a few years ago; Bill Barr presents his "formula for success'L-variety in pro- gramming; Bev Warner describes a special kind of annual square dance in Michigan, and Millard and June McKinney are represented by one more article in the round dance series they submitted. Steve Minikin writes humorously about titles,"new and used," in square dancing, and finally Marilyn Dove shares another delightful short story with a square dance background. And so, with many features to enjoy, as well as all the news we've received, ASD March-es on! 1. ASDS 8485 28 Desperado Records 118 54 Micro Plastics 78 80.
