The Calls We Dance

The US Handicapable website has 2 different lists of calls; a basic and an advanced.
This is done so that handicapable dancers can dance at their conventions with other handicapable groups across the states and all be able to mingle and dance together.
I've tried the two different levels with the Hakuna Matatas and have decided to use most of the suggested calls by combining both lists.

One of the main reasons is due to our door is always open for new dancers. We try to dance an easier tip then a little more challenging one throughout the night. I announce it over the microphone, but realize that everyone gets up to dance, no matter what I say...hahaha.

So, for you parents and guardians that are learning how to square dance and may have questions about some of the calls and how we dance them here is the list I like to use, and if you go to the site you can click on it to find out their explanations and definitions. http://www.d4bp.com/Define.html
