Part two of a three-part series exploring Square Dance History.
The phrase “square dance” means different things at different times and in different places. We’ll start our look at regional styles by considering two fundamental branches: northern squares and southern squares. Within each branch, though, there are important variations. We’ll discuss the vital role played in both regions by Black musicians and callers.
David Millstone, of Lebanon, NH, has been a dance caller for more than 40 years—squares, contras, English country dance, and family-friendly events. A past president of CDSS, David has a long interest in the history of many branches of country dance. He is co-author of Cracking Chestnuts, a book about classic American contra dances, he wrote the contra dance history chapter of Dance a While, he co-authored an exhaustive look at the history of the dolphin hey, and he produced video documentaries about Bob McQuillen, Dudley Laufman, and Ralph Sweet. He created the Square Dance History Project, helped organize the 2011 Dare To Be Square event at the John C. Campbell Folk School, and created the website for the Square Dance Hall of Fame. His current project, under construction, celebrates bands who played for contra and square dances in the early years of their dance communities.
