- 2009 Teaching - Square Dance Not Scrambling
- 2009 CALLERLAB Convention, Kansas City, MO Teaching - Square Dance Not Scrambling Moderator, Jim Mayo and Panelist Jerry Junck - In our transition from the early days of MWSD to the complexity we have today the feel of dancing has suffered. This session will review some of the smoothness, accuracy and styling points that we used to teach. Today the number of calls and the complex ways they are used makes us leave those "dancing" subjects out of too-short classes. They can still be covered in workshops and at club nights. This session will discuss and demonstrate some of these. The panel will provide samples of this type calling for you to experience.
