- Commentaries About Selected Challenge Square Dance Subjects
- There are many items in Challenge square dancing that need discussing. Of
particular interest too me are call definitions. Many are not well defined,
many are defined differently by different callers, some are defined on a level-by- level basis with little continuity between definitions on the various levels.
- The current items are:
1. Counter Rotate
2. Extend
3. Funny
4. Recycle
- I welcome any comments or criticisms of any of this material. My
objective is to provide as much information of these subjects as
possible so that perhaps the problems I see may be laid to rest by someone in
a position to do so.
- Links to Other Square Dance Sites
- A list of significant Internet links of interest to Challenge dancers.
