The Rumor Mill


What is a Square Dancer?

A Square Dancer is a person who knows his left from his right, but occasionally forgets it. A Square Dancer is someone who has learned to do as he is told (by the caller), but doesn't always do it.
He is fanatical in his search for a good time, traveling miles in all kinds of weather, going places he would never go otherwise, spending all night on his feet which were killing him at work, and smiling happily all the time.
A Square Dancer speaks a language all his own. He calls his partner his taw, his honey, his date, darling or pretty little thing, and he promenades, sashays, weaves, circulates, dances, circles around the ring, circle or set.
He learns his dancing thru and thru: right and left thru, pass thru, turn thru, step thru, barge thru - and he must be agile enough to do such unlikely things as box the gnat, shoot the star, slip the clutch, pickup up a girl or shuck the corn.
If this description fits you, don't worry. Although it is practically incurable, this disease is not at all harmful, and most square dancers have a strong desire to infect other members of the community.

You might have heard, I have moved.  Well, I have, but, I am still here; on these pages anyway.  I am still doing CASDA'a web page.  Any club events you would like to have appear on CASDA's web page email the information and flyers to casda@netzero.net.  As before anything sent is subject to editing.

Area IV Data Manager for the State web page is another of my doings.  Normally if I put a flyer on CASDA's page I will put it up on the State page as well.
