I wonder who put these together: Educational Frontiers for Teaching Music Square Dance Compact Discs:

Popular how-to-do-it square dances with clear and lively calls, played by a spirited orchestra. Each succeeding volume presents steps of increasing difficulty. Illustrated guide explains square dance terms, describes basic steps, and walks the group through each dance. Can be used successfully for beginning square dancers, ages 6 through adult.

They offer 5 CDs, ranging from Basic through Intermediate, and they offer a Real Audio sample of “Red River Valley”. It didn’t sound too bad…better than the scratchy 78’s that seem to appear in some school programs.
