Class Information

The Current Class

The classes will begin on a future Tuesday (to be decided at the next business meeting) with the first of three introductory sessions. Those sessions will cover mostly the same material so new students can join on any of the three nights.

After that, new class membership is closed so the instructor can move forward with additional material.

Coming soon: a page that shows the class progress report (dates, what was taught, etc.).

Resources

There is a website with videos showing people demonstrating square dance calls. There are two pages that organize the videos different ways:

The first link has a list of videos and which calls are demonstrated in each one.
https://videosquaredancelessons.com/lessons/

The second link lists the square dance calls in alphabetical order and has a link to the video with its demonstration.

The Taminations web site shows animations and definitions of all square dance calls from Basic 1 through Challenge C-3B. There are also apps for iOS, Android and Kindle. The apps do not require an internet connection after they are installed. That is a big benefit at the Milmay Fire Hall, where cellular service is spotty.
Note: lessons at Rainbow Squares cover only Basic 1 through Plus, the levels danced by the club. Students should not be intimidated by the Advanced or Challenge calls! Disregard them.
