Larry Edelman - early modern square dance

At a 1992 workshop, caller and dance historian Larry Edelman explains influences that created the early forms of modern square dance in the years after WW II. Callers drew on figures from both New England and southern Appalachian traditions, used them in new ways, and created new figures (in this dance, a cross trail), leading to a new kind of dancing. The number of calls multiplied, which in turn led to the necessity of classes held in clubs for dancers to learn the new material. He illustrates this with the dance The Missing Link, by Frank Tyrell, written in 1953. A dance such as this illustrates the transitional period between traditional western and modern western square dance. A more recent video (2011) shows Larry teaching the figures and the figures being danced: http://squaredancehistory.org/items/s...
