Square Dance Steps
Square dance steps originate from 17th century England, but were also popular all throughout Europe. It is possible the dance is a derivative of Scottish Country Dancing, but this is merely speculation on the part of dance historians.
Since then, it has been designated as the official state dance in 19 U.S. states, and continues to be very popular with older generations and at various festivals and fairs.
Square dance steps are based on formations designed by various choreographers, and a "caller" cues the next set of steps to the dancers in time to the music. There are many different styles of steps, and these include the more traditional English Country Dance, the Morris Dance, and the Quadrille.

This document contains basic square dancing instructions for the Unnamed Facility Square Dancing Club. We dance pretty much the same as other square dancers, but when there's any difference with other groups, we use our own rules above others' variations.
