Description: Becky Hill & Ben Nelson will teach you the basics of calling simple square dances to light up your next old-time jam, house party, or family reunion. Drawing from Appalachian square dance figures, they will walk you through each step from starting a circle, to promenade, to basic figures like “Sew the Wheat and Birdie in Cage,” right on through to the final waltz. All ages and experience levels are welcome.
