Squaredance Fundamentals

One of the greatest merits of this book is its logical continuity, which can be a tremendous aid to both the caller/teacher and the student, regardless of how it is used.Meticulously researched, the author has passionately sought to foster the smoothness and beauty of square dancing for the benefit of continuing generations of family, friends, and neighbors seeking membership in this great American tradition. He has successfully encouraged novices to pursue the exhilarating joy and camaradie of square dancing by ultra simplifying the instructions and graphics and presenting them on clean, uncluttered pages. The vital, rudimentary procedures and maneuvers are presented in an easily comprehensible and logical order of development. The new dancer is thereby prevented from feeling overwhelmed and thus discouraged, and more seasoned dancers finally learn why they do what they do, making it easier to progress to more advanced maneuvers.The author worked painstakingly with the graphic artist to execute a feat never attempted before in a square dance manual. Each dancer is smoothly raised to the pinnacle of understanding by viewing revolutionary illustrations which show THE PARTICIPANT'S POINT OF VIEW, not just the spectator's viewpoint. The dancers can, at a glance, glean from the illustrations, exactly what they need to be doing with their hands, feet, etc. Each dancer, regardless of prior experience, can effortlessly grasp the material and easily retain it. It's easy! And dancing is so much more fun when you don't have to struggle with interpreting the instructions!
