Description

A pre-War tradition from mainly rural western and midwestern communities, square dancing offered an opportunity for people to gather socially and have fun in a morally acceptable way. The music is primarily functional, an often up-tempo combination of Waltz, Traditional Country and Western Swing, with an emcee calling out directions to the dancers.
