Bows & Beaus 2011 Square Dance Class
List of Calls Taught

Numbers in parenthesis refer to descriptions in the booklet:
The Illustrated Basic and Mainstream Movements of Square Dancing, 11th printing 2006.
These moves are from the Callerlab Basic & Mainstream Programs.

The symbol (P) indicates moves from Callerlab's Plus Program, described in the booklet:

The Illustrated Plus Movements of Square Dancing.

Both booklets are published by Palomino Records, Inc., Shepherdsville, KY.

The Video links are to teaching videos provided by the Saddlebrooke Squares in Tucson, Arizona, and their caller, Larry Kraber. Each of these short videos includes several calls, and describes and shows a common use of each call.
For a precise Definition of each call, View Definitions & Animations links to a page provided by the Santa Clara Valley Square Dancers Association. From there you can view the definition and find three different animations of each call.
