Call Tutorials/Taminations

There is an app you can download called ‘Taminations’ which explains the calls and provides animations of the calls. Or, click on this link: Taminations to view this in your browser. You will see a list of square dance levels. Once you click on the level (we dance ‘Basic and Mainstream’ and ‘Plus’), you will see a list of the square dance calls. Click on the call you are interested in and you will be able to click the play button to view an animation of that call. On the right hand of the screen you will see the verbal description of the call. 

In the chart below, you can click on the Video link for a call to see a square actually dance the call.
