National Square Dance Day-- In most American forms of square dance, the dancers are prompted or cued through a sequence of steps (square dance choreography) by a caller to the beat (and, in some traditions, the phrasing) of music. In some forms of traditional square dancing, the caller may be one of the dancers or musicians, but in modern Western square dancing, the caller will be on stage, giving full attention to directing the dancers.
Read: Squaredance Fundamentals
-- Revolutionary illustrations show the dancer's point of view, not just the spectators' viewpoint. Dancers can, without turning on their heads, glean from the detailed illustrations exactly what they need to be doing with their hands, feet, etc. Each dancer can effortlessly grasp the material and easily retain it. Renown master caller/teacher, Marshall Flippo, assiduously assisted the author in establishing the very first guidelines for standardized
Basic Maneuverswhich would enable square dancers to dance gracefully with any group, anywhere. No one shows you better how to execute the maneuvers than John W. Jones with his super simplified instructions and state-of-the-art illustrations in Squaredance Fundamentals - the gold standard for over 37 years.

In November 1922, they found it. Carter had discovered not just an unknown ancient Egyptian tomb, but one which had lain nearly undisturbed for over 3,000 years. What lay within astounded the world.
