2012 - Stockton Folk Dance Camp

Where do you fit into Square Dancing at Folk Dance Camp?
Each year many dancers wonder if they are proficient enough in square dancing to take Jerry
Helt’s class in experienced squares in the morning class. As a result, we are providing a list of the 34
basic square dance movements Jerry will assume that each dancer in the class knows. In other words,
there will be no teaching of these movements.
If you haven’t done a lot of square dancing and don’t know all of these movements, you can still
do squares with Jerry in the evening class.
If you are a newcomer to square dancing, then try the squares at Once Over Lightly each
evening. They are very easy to do and are enjoyed by everyone, from beginners to experienced dancers.
