Welcome to the Square Dance Definitions

Hello and WELCOME to this website.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL CALLERLAB WEBSITE

This Site has the latest versions of the published definitions by Callerlab together with German Translations:

Following Documents are used:

  • Basic, Mainstream and Plus LISTS giving an overview about the calls in a program and the Callerlab suggested Teaching Order
  • Basic, Mainstream and Plus Definitions: Details on each Call and additional Information
  • German translations by the International Advisiory Committee as far as available. Other translations are done by me (the author of these pages)

Following is a table of latest revisons of these documents. I used the date stated within the document. Dates on Callerlab homepage are sometimes different.

List Definition German Translation
Basic (1 and 2) 1. September 2021 28. February 2023 22. February 2020
Mainstream 6. March 2019 22. February 2020 22. February 2020
Plus 1. September 2021 29. October 2021 22. September 2018

Using the language Selector on the right hand side you can choose between:

  • ‘The English version. This is copied from the Callerlab site and some colors and text attributes are added. This is NOT an official Callerlab site. However,  I will try to keep the definitions up to date whenever something is changed by Callerlab.
  • The German Version.
  • A page with animations/videos. On these pages I explain (in German only) the calls again while showing videos/animations for each call. This should be a great help for beginners/students to learn the calls online.
  • Additional “languages” are possible. Ideas are:
    • Videos/animations with English explanations. Somebody to take this on?
    • References to pages like Taminations (animated calls) or Saddlebrook Square (videos for calls)
    • Own videos explaining calls
    • Additional real languages (Japanese, Danisch, Swedisch, ….). Anyone interested. You could also take these pages/concepts and host another language elsewhere.

Lets see which ideas will work. Perhaps there is some help? If you want to participate in this project please contact me. You find my contact information on top of this page.
