CDSS's On The Beat with Ralph Sweet, written by Ralph and edited by Nils Fredland, is a great source of both non-singing and singing squares.  I'll bring my copy with me to SFQCDC for you to look through.

Subject: [Callers] Starting to call squares at contra dances

After dancing to some of Lisa's Greenleaf's 🔥 squares at Beantown Stomp last weekend, I'm feeling inspired to add some to my repertoire. (To be clear, I'm looking for squares-for-contra-dancers, not MWSD squares.)
  1. Any resources to recommend for someone learning to call squares?
  2. Any advice to share, techniques to look into, things you wish you'd known when starting out / wish contra callers knew about squares?
  3. Suggestions for callers to look up on YouTube (besides Lisa ofc) / fave videos?
  4. Favorite dances that I should add to my box?
Thanks in advance,
Maia
