Basic Documents that deal only with the Basic program,
Mainstream Documents that deal only with the Mainstream program,
BMS Documents that deal with both the Basic and Mainstream programs,
SSD Documents that deal with the Social Square Dance program,
Other Documents that are not specific to any program but are of interest to callers calling Basic/Mainstream/SSD.

Note: SSD is a composite of selected Basic and Mainstream calls. Definitions for SSD calls may be found in the applicable Basic or Mainstream Definitions documents. SSD was only recently installed as an official CALLERLAB program, but it was in use in some places for several years prior to that. During that time, a number of valuable non-CALLERLAB documents were created by those using it. You may find a collection of those documents here.

2021 Triennial Review Results

Every three years the CALLERLAB program committees (Basic/Mainstream, Plus, Advanced, and Challenge) undertake a review of the current program lists and definitions. This review may result in additions or deletions of calls/concepts or a revision of definitions. The update of program documents may lag behind the initial public announcement of changes because after the results of the review are known, the committee may have additional work to do to redraft list or definition documents. This entry documents the raw results of the 2021 Triennial Review.
