I have uploaded four books that I have written about square dancing on the Internet Archives. These four ebooks will now be free.

1) “All About Modules” is designed for beginner callers and for callers that wish to expand their knowledge about how to use Modules to call square dances. The appendices in the book contain about 1000 Modules that I have collected over the years. Most of the Modules were not written by me. They are the Modules I have used and researched from other sources.

2) “The Mainstream Callers Notebook” sold thousands of copies over many years. The size of the book was made to fit into a 45 RPM case along with the records. The book contains over 400 Modules organized into themes based on featured “basics.” I quit producing the book when the price of printing exceeded the MSRP of the book.

3)”Teaching New Dancers” is a collection of dances that can be used in public schools, churches, youth camps, etc. to introduce children to dancing. The dance types include big circle dances, mixers, contras, trios, squares, etc. All the dances are done with only four commands. Music suggestions are included

4) “Dancing for Busy People” is the book used around the world for beginner dance parties. It contains square dances, line dances, contras, mixers, quadrilles, big circle dances, etc.

Each of the four books can be downloaded for free. However, I encourage you to make a donation to Internet Archives. If you do, then books like these will be available for future generations of dance teachers and other interested people

I have uploaded many other publications. I will discuss these in future posts.

Thank you so much, Calvin.

I purchased D4BP years ago after it was promoted at a caller’s school. I’ve used it a lot.

More recently, I purchased All About Modules. Also very useful.

I appreciate your placing these, and the new books, in the public domain. I know newer callers who will definitely benefit from your wisdom.
