Hi all,

              The Wikipedia “Square Dance” entry, which covers all Square Dance (Playford, ECD, MWSD, traditional American, Irish, etc.) was recently vandalised with claims that Square Dancing is racist and antisemitic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_dance

              These claims have now been removed.  But, in order to show how far from the truth they are, I thought it might be nice to set up a page which showed all the different styles of Square Dancing from around the world and across time.

              I therefore created this page: http://contrafusion.co.uk/SquareDanceHistory.html with a brief history and lots of diverse videos.

              I would be grateful for any additions, corrections, suggestions, etc., especially for suggestions of videos which show any other forms of Square Dancing, or from any other countries.

              Please let me know if you have any good ideas.

              Thanks.

            Happy dancing,

                   John
