Listen to an interview with Jason Dean, an Australian caller: Square Dancing Moves Ahead. There’s a Real Audio file link on the page, so you can listen to Jason call and talk to the reporter. The reporter even gives square dancing a go.

Here’s an ambitious project by the North Texas Square and Round Dance Association ; they’ve got a Growth Committee to foster new dancers. It looks like their plan is to have three-week (yes, that’s 3) sessions that go from 9:30 to 3:30, with lunch included and then have lots of new dancer dances. They’ve got three sets scheduled in January, and one each in February and March. Hope it works!
