【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
e to play an instrument, clapping was used to produce the rhythm. The early settlers danced in a store, in a barn or in a farm kitchen. A square is formed by four couples who stand facing the center of the square. Each couple stands on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the right. The caller is an important part of the dance since he tells the dancers which steps to do. If the dancers do not know the steps, he teaches them. It takes time to learn to be a good caller, and good callers are always in need. As the caller tells the dancers what to do next, they move to form the pattern he calls. Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time. Sometimes 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing at the same time. Or there may be only one square of eight people. Costumes are worn by some who do square dance. This makes the dancing more colorful to watch. The costumes bee different from place to place. Women often wear full skirts of various colors with a pretty blouse. Men have colored shirts and western trousers that they only wear when square dancing. In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes. Today in some parts of the United States you will find some school, club or other group that is square dancing for fun. 1.
