Call Evolution

2011 CALLERLAB Conv Las Vegas, NV Call Evolution Moderator, Clark Baker and Panelist, Don Beck: Burleson's Square Dancer's Encyclopedia lists over 5,000 square dance calls! Who wrote all the calls, and why? Where did our square dance calls come from? Did new calls appear fully formed or did they evolve? What did it take to write and publish a new call? Who came up with the names? Why did a few calls "make it" while most failed? Why aren't there any new calls today? Your panelists will discuss these questions and more.
