by Cecil Wiltse From a Speech given at the 1975 Washington Seminar

Keeping Dancers Interested and Retaining Membership or How To Maintain Enthusiasm in New and Old Dancers The answer to one is the answer to the other, so these two topics belong together. I don't think our problems are exactly the same in all areas. Big clubs have different problems than the small ones. In our area we have the problem of getting classes and feel lucky if we can muster up two or three squares. And to maintain membership in clubs, replacements are a must. Most of our dropouts are for reasons that are real, such as leaving the area, starting a family, or teens involved in school activities which demand the participation of parents. The dropouts caused by friction and disagreements in the club are the ones we can prevent. At times these are laid to the caller, and at other times to dancers who are not tolerant. These things are sad.

First, let's pan the caller a little. If he the new dancers may be old friends. plays favorites and calls to a few of the This is a totally new thing they are eager beavers and not to the whole club, getting involved in and may be confused trouble is on the way.

The name of longer than the real red-hot eager the game is FUN and this includes the beaver. So patience on the part of the caller. The caller-teacher should make caller-teacher and the helpers is very sure everyone is treated alike. What I'm important. Enthusiasm should start in trying to say.

12 Dancers Square Up At Kingdome Dedication

It was square dancing by the numbers for about four minutes at the grand opening of the Kingdome, Seattle's new domed stadium, in March. 800 square dancers moved to the music of the Cross Cats band and the directions of Jack Leicht, veteran Seattle caller. In the stands enthusiastic spectators classped their hands and stamped their feet to the music as the dancers whirled and twirled in a mosaic of moving color. When Jack called, "Into the middle with a great big yell," the audience joined the dancers in a dome-filling crescendo. The numbers game began early in February for the Stadium 76 square dance coordinators Phil and Kay Hall. They were approached by Tommy Walker, organizer of the Kingdome grand opening dedication and show, to see if they could recruit 65 squares to fill the five points of the thriteen stars honoring the original thirteen states. The Halls, vice-presidents of Central Puget Sound Council, Square and Folk Dance Federation of Washington, were overwhelmed by the response from local dancers. The result was 100 squares, plus sixteen standbys plus the band and wives (10 more), and Jack and Happy Leicht made a grand total of 828 dancers, representing 56 clubs from 28 cities, hamlets and towns in the Greater Seattle area. Twelve of the dancers dressed in pioneer costumes and followed the horse-drawn covered wagons. The square dancers proved to be among the most popular acts which included Danny Kaye, Meredith Wilson, and "76 Trombones" and 5000 other participants including Boys Scouts, Girl Scouts, high school bands and choruses, auto clubs in musical, dancing, Bicentennial, althletic, folk lore and civic activities.

24 As the Friendly Squares (Pittsburgh area) were taking a break before the last tip of the evening, the mother of one of our teenage students came in with an interesting story. When stopping for gas at a nearby station, she learned of a family in need of help. They were traveling through the area with their two small children and were stranded because of lack of money. They had a TV set with them which they wanted to sell for $15.00 in order to get enough IT REALLY sr! money for a night's lodging. This story was related to the class for anyone who might be interested in helping them by buying their TV set. In a matter of minutes my hat was passed through the group and from about five squares, $38.10 was collected to help this family. Hats off to a great group of square dancers.

Skip and Bonnie Gates of Shreveport, Louisiana, were presented with the following proclamation on graduation night by the Square D square dance club: PROCLAMATION Whereas, approximately half of this class has two left feet, hands, and heads; and Whereas, Skip and Bonnie most graciously recognize our handicaps and have guided us through months of tips and turns; and Whereas, the Murray Brummetts generously shared the use of their barn with us; and Whereas, the members of the Square D Club extended their hospitality and warmly welcomed us by lending their able, experienced bodies to com- plete our squares; and Whereas, Skip and Bonnie's optimism in assuming that in the future we will become accomplished square dancers has given us courage to continue; and Whereas, Skip never raised his voice and always corrected us in a kindly manner (Ahem! Irony); and Whereas, the Yellow Rock and Pony Express are the favorite calls of this class wherein the Happy Hobblers will Yellow Rock anyone and will cooperate and lend assistance to the furtherance of square dancing; and Whereas. the Happy Hobblers class will graduate on January 30, 1976, and has agreed to call that day Skip and Bonnie Gates Yellow Rock Day, 1976, Now therefore, I, Jerre S. Basch, representative of the Happy Hobblers Class of the City of Shreveport, do hereby proclaim Friday, January 30, 1976, as Skip and Bonnie Gates Yellow Rock Day — 1976 in Brummetts Barn, and urge all of our class members to cooperate in this effort to commemorate our dedicated callers by yellow-rocking both parties at each and every opportunity and urge you all to create opportunities if, indeed, such opportunities do not exist, and commend all those who yellow rock. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Happy Hobblers Class of Brummetts Barn to be affixed. Jerre S. Basch

32 In the days when we did rounds, I did the teaching and cueing. I taught classes alone (until this became so difficult in keeping up to date that we gave up) and once was hired to do rounds alone at a club. But if Stan called, he got his fee. If I went on a night when another caller called, then they paid me a fee. How's that for discrimination? We do not have a good definition of a round dance leader and/or team. It has been suggested that, round dance instructors get together in a Callerlab- like organization and that perhaps In our area's callers association, if we Legacy could try to bring one about as it are both considered leaders we must did the s/d business owners.

Pauline Sakahara, shown here with husband Dan, wore this unique Bicentennial fashion at the Greater St. Louis Folk and Square Dance Federation's 28th Annual America the Beautiful Festival held in April. The Sakaharas were general chairmen. The dress is made of red, white and blue polyester/cotton material. The V-neckline and sleeves are outlined with a blue and red ruffle. Emphasizing a smooth waistline, the white bodice has an overflowing peplum meeting alternate rows of red, white and blue ruffles that continue to the floor-length hem. It has a concealed zipper-back closing, with a decorative red, white and blue bow accenting the back of the dress. A criss-cross lacing of red velvet ribbon accents the midriff of the bodice. This dress may be modified to street length by removing seven rows of ruffles. leaving a finished hem. Pauline will model this lovely dress at the Missouri Federation Festival, October 15 and 16, in St. Louis. The fashion was designed by Irene Dunne, and Doris Gamache was the seamstress.

READY FOR A PARTY?

This month the biggest square dance party ever held will make the headlines in Anaheim, California. The 25th National Square Dance Convention. More than 30,000 dancers, callers and leaders will attend. They'll dance, gab, buy, sell, tour. discuss, view exhibits, learn, and dance some more. This year for the first time they'll all dress for the dance (period costumes, square dance clothes, no sloppy jeans, short sleeved shirts for men or slacks for ladies). Let's make it the best party as well as the biggest. See you there. Stop in at Booth #71 and say hello.

Rural areas as a general rule mix I remember when dancers were better, but I don't mean they are reminded to thank one another at the friendlier. I believe friendliness is equal conclusion of a tip.

LEGACY SPIN-OFF

The Prairie Conclave of American Folk Dancers met for three days In April at the Nebraska Center for Continuing Education in Lincoln. 115 leaders from Nebraska and five neighboring states met to develop guidelines for square dancing, round dancing and related activities in the Central Plains area. Guest director was Bob Osgood, member of the board of directors of Legacy. The Conclave was patterned after Legacy II. The goals and recommendations from the Conclave are: PUBLIC IMAGE: We resolve to retain our overall good Image by taking a good look at ourselves before going out in public. We should maintain an attractive public image through the wearing of appropriate attire at all square dancing functions. School administrators should be provided current and truly representative square dance course materials. We must insure the public media project a true image of square and round dancing. We should be watchful of the information presented. WHO DOES WHAT? We must maintain club harmony through communications between caller and dancer. We should foster enthusiastic member participation and provide proper guidelines to clubs, callers and dancers. We should foster the development of new leaders by offering opportunities, encouragement and information. We must recruit and participate in the development of dancers, callers and leaders. HOW AND WHAT WE DANCE: We endcrse the Callerlab concept for standardization of figures, styling and plateaus of dancing. As a means toward standardization, this group recommends the formation of state callers' associations. We recommend clubs and instructors be given sufficient time In lessons to make new dancers proficient. HOW WE ACT: Everyone should be a committee of one to make others feel welcome. Every effort should be made to make a good first Impression and a continuing effort made to integrate all guests throughout the evening's program. We should provide a means of fostering social communication within the club, and indoctrinate new dancers in acceptable behavior at an early stage in their dancing.

No, April 22, 1976, at the South Portland High School opening of the New England Square Dance Convention. As a spy from the midwestern frontier, I donned my colonial garb and watched the bewigged gentlemen and mob-capped ladies of that era cavort with frontiersman, Indians, sunbonnetted women, Civil War soldiers, Victorian ladies and a portly monk from California (Bob Osgood, in disguise). Dancing Master was Charlie Baldwin; guest of honor, the top-hatted, tuxedoed Ralph Page; and prompters for the contras and quadrilles were Joe Casey, Roger Whynot and Dick Leger. "Why, there's not even any square dancing," I overheard early in the evening. Perhaps by the closing, folks with similar comments gained a feeling of being a part of history and a new appreciation for our heritage. No account of the dance would be complete without mention of the special decor in the "Ballroom." Silhouettes of colonial scenes: Paul Revere, a sail-rigged ship, a horse-drawn carriage, and others ringed the room at wall-top. A Liberty Bell replica hung in the ceiling center, surrounded at random by outlines of the six New England states and the dates of their statehood. A gala evening, long to be remembered! Next morning it was time to find Scarborough Downs and set up the magazine booth. Ever dance at a race track? It was a great facility! Big event of the afternoon was a clambake. The long wait dampened some enthusiasm but appetites returned when faced with lobsters, clams, corn, eggs, salad and fruit. Wow! Mary Fabik, who was my cohort on the trip, likes lobster and I have a never-ending yearning for New England clams, so we traded off and feasted on our favorites. Friday evening, Charlie and Bertha Baldwin received the Silver Spur Award from Bob Osgood in recognition for the service they have given to square dancing in New England and beyond its boundaries. Charlie is editor of the New England Caller and has served on more committees than you can count. (See article, August 1974). Saturday was a long booth day, 9 A.M. to 10 P.M. But it wasn't a drag. If one is stationary at a convention, sooner or later almost every one will come by. Some chat, some browse; we greet old friends and meet new ones. We answer questions, we give directions, we make notes for back-home tasks. It's fun. When our business is slow, we visit the other shops and compare notes. Business-wise, Scarborough Downs was ideal. We had a glass-window backdrop, the door was nearby, and the car was parked immediately outside. Never, even at National Conventions, have we ever had so fortunate an arrangement. Our hotel this year was also something special. The Portland Ramada has computerized slot cards for room entry — a whole new sensation for two midwestern spies. During Saturday, Mary and I also broke a five-year record at the New England Convention. We danced. Other years, folks had come by and said, "Don't you ever get to dance?" We'd grin and say, "Oh, if we're asked." And they'd chat a while and drift on. This year as we worked in our slacks on Friday, a real invitation came, "Tomorrow if you wear square dance clothes, we'll go up and dance." So we did. Continued on Page 81

N.E.Convention, Continued And Charlie Surprenant (helper at the Ox-Yoke Shop) did come back and did gallantly repeat his invitation and did escort us, one at a time, up to the second-level dance hall. There the most foot-tapping, beat-shuffling fun dancing was going on. New England dancers dance on the beat, and being merely a transplanted Rhode Island Yankee, I found it elating and exciting. The hit record of the convention was "America:" we heard it over and over. Yikes Cameron called it while we were dancing, the whole floor sang, and shivers ran up and down my spine. Our partner was such an excellent dancer that we danced four rounds without mishap, as well. He leads so expertly that every dance was a pleasure! So for us, in spite of the sixteen-hour drive to and from Ohio, the 17th New England Convention was an experience never to be forgotten and a real "Happy-Birthday-America" celebration.

The eyes are black felt glued on ping pong balls (another ping pong ball is painted red for the nose). The hat is white felt. while the mustache is black felt. The tie is 22"x3" in red and white checked gingham. Diagram shows how to tie thread on toothpick and insert into ping pong ball for proper hanging. Good luck.
