So when you say you want to promote "square dancing" in the UK, do you mean you want to promote Modern Western Square Dancing?

No harm in MWSD for those who enjoy it but there's lots of other kinds.
Various different traditions in different parts of the USA so I'm told, some of them called square dancing by the people that do it but not danced in squares.

It can be quite exhillarating to dance to a call without a walk-through but I enjoy the inclusiveness of other sorts of clubs, where you can join at any time and come when you can, rather than needing to take a course. This does make problems for the callers in planning programmes.

MC's who want to improve their dance knowledge find plenty to think about at those festivals that have a bias towards dance e.g.Litchfiels, Chippenham, Eastbourne, Whitby, Sidmouth etc.

I did start to take the Mainstream course but my daughters canoe class changed it's night so I had to drop out, and I haven't wanted to finish it, certainly not to go on to Plus etc.
I do enjoy square dancing at festivals, where the caller walks through the figure and as much of the break as he thinks we need, and just throws the rest at us.

Yes, it does seem to be men that call squares
