Calls, Tutorials, and Resources
SSD Video Lessons
A useful resource provided by the Chicago club North Shore Squares. This link takes you to an alphabetical list of calls. They also have weekly class lists, but their teaching order is slightly different to ours. Free to use.
Taminations
The San Rafael, California based Tam-Twirlers have created an excellent self-paced teaching aid. The Taminations show each call as an animation. You can slow down or stop the playback, and examine the CallerLab call definition. It is available as a website, or an app on your phone. The phone app and their website are both free to use.
CallerLab
CallerLab is the organization that creates and defines the dance programs (mainstream, plus, etc) and the call definitions. Check out their complete list of calls and definitions:
The Honky Tonk Queen contest wasn’t always the only big crowd pleaser at convention. Two conventions (Baltimore and Vancouver) hosted a Hunky Trunks King competition, where the best bodies were on display, and included a fun ‘pool tip’. Sadly, the Hunky Trunks competition is no more. And the beautful Bathing Belles, who organized the event and who themselves appeared in the most gorgeous bathing wear at those conventions, have not been sighted in recent years. This was the ‘Golden Age’ of gay square dancing!
