Amy,

My interpretation is that a quadrille is a square prompted in the New England tradition.

In the modern western tradition few callers use this method, but I was taught by New England caller Dick Leggier who composed many promoted 'quadrille" figures to use in the MWSD environment.  This is still my method of calling squares in the club scene.

I am not sure why I understand it that way.  Word of mouth is a contributor, but also older publications like Sets in Order often referred to many of these simple 64 step dances as quadrilles.  

Here's one Jerry Helt called by from Tony.

What do you think of as a quadrille, tune and/or dance?

I'm very curious to hear as many different answers as there are
ages/locations/opinions on here. :)

(Tell you why *after* we have a nice long thread. :)

Cheers,
Amy
