For The Square Dance Caller: Singing Call Sequences With Variety

Here is a great basic modern western square dance call sequence bringing together two different elements that will provide a little more variety for a unique singing call figure. The Girls Trade and the Boys Trade at the same time in the sequence is a neat and unusual change and a bit of a surprise! The Couples Trade is a nice touch to give the dancers practice on a few different “Trade” calls, and the dancers all stay in a nice group of four before the Ferris Wheel to complete the figure.

 

CALLING TIP! If you are planning on flying to the National Square Dance Convention then keep in mind that packing light is the way to go! Take only a flash drive with your songs stored on it that you will use and a microphone. This will help you so that you won’t have to worry about exceeding the luggage restrictions at the airport!
