These videos show people dancing singing calls that make use of only the calls from the new Mainstream list. They illustrate the wide variety of singing calls that are possible using only that list. They also illustrate that many singing calls that are popular among the current square dancer population are commonly called using only calls from that list.
These are not teaching videos, or videos made specifically to demonstrate the new Mainstream list. They are just recordings of people square dancing at various events, of the sort you could find yourself on YouTube. In fact they are all from YouTube. The events were held in a variety of locations, so there may be "frills" or regional styling. (There may also be mistakes.) Included are videos showing dancers of all ages, and music of many different styles. None of these videos were recorded at events that were organized or promoted as "new Mainstream" events. (Nor were most of them from "newer dancer" events.) Most of them were recorded during sessions that were announced as SSD, classic Mainstream, or even Plus. It's just that for these particular singing calls, only calls included in new Mainstream were used. |
