Re: [Callers] [trad-dance-callers] What did he say !??? MWSD

One of the cool things about MWSD is that they have singing squares to many fun songs of the past 50 years. Beatles, stones, salsa, C&W, you name it. The downside is most are using the jargon of MWSD. This is why they have 40 weeks of lessons. You have two choices - replace the given moves with ones that put the dancers in basically that place but with moves they already know, or teach all those moves in other dances earlier in the evening. Square thru dancers know from contra. Swing thru appears in some contra dances (see Manga Tak by Ron Buchannan or Southern Swing by Steve Zaikon Anderson) (it's basically - from a wavy line - all allemande Right ½, centers allemande left ½). Eight chain 4 I've seen in a couple of squares by Colin Hume (check out his Squares with a Difference - singing square O Bla Di, Oh Bla Dah) Spin the top - um ....

MWSD Hi, Found two incredible singing squares. One is to Everly brothers' "Dream, Dream, Dream" and the other to the Beatles' "Money Can't Buy You Love". We might like to try them for our Valentine's Dance, but they use calls from Modern Western Square Dancing. So........... What do these terms mean? (I tried http://www.ceder.net <http://www.ceder.net/> , but could not find them.) Square thru Square thru go three (three quarter 'round now) Square thru (count it four hands 'round) 8 chain 4 Swing thru Spin the top O.K. I have done a square through but before I teach it (and any variations in this list), I need review. Thanks to those who know. I don't.
