a. “Square Dance ABCs” for beginners or \u201cIntro to Square Dancing\u201d dances are where you learn about fifteen calls. The ABC dances usually lead to a BLAST class where the remainder of the mainstream<\/strong> calls are introduced. Then you need to go square dancing and use all the calls at dances.<\/p>\n b. Another means is a more traditional 12-20 weeks of classes where the 68 “<\/strong><\/em>Basic and Mainstream<\/a><\/strong>“<\/strong><\/em> calls are taught and practiced during 40 hours of instruction. These classes may run once a week from September through December or March or twice a week for 6-10 weeks at various times throughout the year.<\/p>\n After you become proficient at the “Basic and Mainstream” level, if you so desire, there are another 30 “<\/em>Plus<\/a>“<\/em><\/strong> calls to learn and if you want more, there are also “Advanced” and “Challenge” calls to learn.<\/p>\n The following links provide instructions on calls:<\/p>\n https:\/\/videosquaredancelessons.com\/lessons\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Taminations (tamtwirlers.org)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Mondays, April 27, 2026 \u2013 \u201cIntro to Square Dancing,\u201d 6:15-7:45 pm.
