As a result, other clubs are now raiding us with almost the same frequency. It sure makes for a lot more fun when we have extra squares on the floor. Raiding is fun, even if it does take some effort and determination. Both clubs have charts listing the members and we use gold ink to make stars for those who go on a raid. We award badges which attach to the club badges, using the club colors. The first award is 5-STAR RAIDER and then 10-STAR RAIDER. After that the badges go by denominations of 10 and this goes on indefinitely. As a dancer is promoted, the old badge is turned in, so there is only a small cost in buying new badges. At each dance we start our report with a presentation of raid badges with all the customary square dance hugging and kissing. Thus, the raid chairmen have a good time giving out awards. We welcome raiders with lyrics to the tune of the Notte Dame Victory March. This is taped and our caller & members sing the lyrics. (We will be happy to furnish this tape to any clubs that request). It was so much fun, that we recently came up with raid songs for both Valley and Y Squares. Valley Squares uses "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue" and Y Squares has "Yes Sir, That's My Baby." These tapes were made with the great piano of Don Biermann of Y Squres and his son, Dave, on ukelele. Lenny Swearer and Maurie Berlinrut do the vocals. No, this is not marching music. We strut to the beat, swivel some hips and in time will add some Charleston and a little simple showtime. Once our raiders learn the words, they will sing along too.

Every month, we have at least one dance with a special theme and we are having very good turnouts. In February, we had "Hawaiian Night" with Barry Serebnick-as our guest caller. Most everyone came in some sort of a Hawaiian get-up. Everyone received a Hawaiian Lei and a shell dangle straight from Hawaii. Then, we had a "Forget Me Not Dance" - to commerate Valentine's Day. Jeff & Mickey Stevens were the official photographers for the evening and took everyone's picture...so that everyone who attended had a souvenir of that evening's dance. In March, we had a "Wearin' 0' The Green" dance. A delightful night was had by all. The hall was gaily decorated in green, the dancers came with lots of green and even the refreshments were green. We were treated that night to a demo by Steve & Wendy Bradt. They are beautiful dancers and were enthusiastically received by us all. Thanks so much, Steve and Wendy. Last, but not least, for March - we had a very successful Student Dance. Dan Koft was the caller for that night and once • aaain the hall sty was almr,Qt no,nr heavenly angels.

The Rellingers contributed a special St. Patty's cake and decorations for the occasion. Larry Davenport substituted admirably for John Kaltenthaler. The smiles on our faces remained long after we went home from the dance. Due to school holidays, Tenakill Twirlers did not meet in April but we expect to greet new and old friends for our Graduation Ball in May.

When Richmond Dancers raid, they really raid! Statens were fortunate to have 36 R.D. members join us at our Mar. 4th dance. We enjoyed their new presentation of the raiders for the pinning of our banner. Marching in yellow and black costumes and ending with lines facing the spectators, they simultaneously bowed to acknowledge the applause from the sidelines. Quite impressive! We also applauded Ralph Trout for calling a great dance and Donna Anderson for cueing the rounds delightfully! We're proud of the Dudleys' premiere performance of "By the Sea" at Brian Fugere's Pocono Manor Weekend. Marie sang while Bill provided visual effects making for a most successful "duet." Bravo! Meanwhile, in Bermuda, the Stevensons and the Wielands were warmly welcomed by "MidOcean Promenaders," who presented them special visitor dangles. Ron Boys called and a memorable time was had by all. It is time again to enjoy the NNJSDA's Wednesday night Summer Dances. We hope to join members of the Class of '89 in a square and to share some "Fun and Friendship" (our club motto).

We will have at least 2 students who attended 100% of the classes. We had two squares out for a demo at the Wayne Masonic Temple in March. Bob Robinson was our caller for the evening. We were even able to enlarge the dancing group to three squares during two tips with members of the Masons and their wives learning some basic calls. Those participating enjoyed the dancing. Due to snow, the school was closed on the night of our Presidents Dance. The dance was rescheduled with Ray Lehberger calling. This was also our St. Patricks Day Dance. We held this dance and guess what (?), it snowed. By the time the dance was over, cars and ground were covered with snow. We hope everyone got home safely. With winter over, we look forward to seeing all our members and friends who travel to warmer climes during the "cold, cold" winter - once again.

Based on our discussions, we have decided to merge into a new club -- HARMONY DANCERS -- which will begin operation in the fall at the Deerfield School in Mountainside, N.J. This has been a difficult decision for all of us, and we hope we will have the support and understanding of the other clubs in our area - as we begin to create a new tradition. We are very excited about the prospects for the new club. It has been a real pleasure to work with the members of Dancing Squares and Hill City, to find a positive way to carry square dancing forward. Even if we were not becoming partners in the new club, we would have been greatly rewarded just to have had the opportunity to work with them. We have also been pleased by the inte-reet 4 nsquare dancing shown by the Mountainside Board of '11cLeation, which will be sponsoring our dances. HARMONY DANCERS will offer both mainstream and plus dancing. In addition, we will offer round dancing at all dances. We will also be sponsoring a class. Look for our ad in the next Grand Square !!

This means: 1) that Solitaires will be around for another wonderful year of dancing and 2) that we can always use more help in keeping the club alive. If you didn't volunteer for an executive office this year, - how about bringing refreshments to a dance or offering to call a few members who haven't been to Solitaires for an ' a continuity awhile. Your rewards will be a stronger, healthier of the friendships that have kept some of us dancing with Solitaires for so many years. We welcomed back Lucy Tardif and Joe Landspurg - after several months absence. Also on a social note, Congratulations to Sue Tobiason, who became an aunt, when her sister gave birth to a girl on Easter weekend. Though Solitaires won't be dancing as a club during the summer, we hope that many members will take advantage of the Association dances and summer dances at neighboring clubs.

All good dances with special fun at each. A monster crowd got some great bargains, some great dancing with Mary Northrup, refreshments were in the spirit of the night with eggrolls at the Chinese Auction dance. Groundhog Dance had Ray Lehberger in more than good form. He kept the crowd dancing at a furious pace. Everybody complained with the biggest smile you ever want to see. We didn't know that Dick Pasvolsky was so old...he proved his age at our OLDIES BUT GOODIES Dance. Dick had more and more old, forgotten calls. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE REMEMBER "RED HOT" ?? Dancing Braille Method kind of describes our FLASHLIGHT Dance. Finding your OWN partner in the dark was fun -although sound of hand hitting cheek was occasionally heard, also some giggles. The Irish were out in full force in March for WEARIN' OF THE GREEN Dance. Jigs and reels inspired Mary Northrup to new heights of calling..much to the delight of the dancers. We look forward to seeing and dancing with you .. SOON. If not now -then in the Fall. Our first plus dance will be 3rd Sat. in September with Joe Fazekas calling. Our 1st M/S dance will be in October with John Kaltenthaler calling. Round dancers, at both dances, will enjoy the cueing of Nick & Carole Raspa.

But there is still time to renew those resolutions that faded with the holidays. As a powerful motivation, pull out last summer's bathing suit and try it on. For instant success: attend more dances and "keep your lips sealed" as you pass the dessert table! WellI try. Richmond Dancers' happenings: Norman/Susan Reid attended the Bermuda S/D Convention; Bill/America Letteri have returned from AZ; heard from Jean Fricke in FL; Mary Gorham is back from CA: and Rana Pettit's heart is still in Madeira, Portugal. The Association dance on Mar. 31 and the NJS&RDC on Apr. 1 were well attended by Richmond Dancers. Congratulations and welcome to our new members, George/ Helen Nadeau and Sam/Rose Rutigliano. Let's be aware that new dancers are square dancing's future. All new dancers out there, make the great effort to attend the Association's Summer Dance s. Events to remember: our Christmas Dance chaired by Ray/Clara Friscia (with Mr. & Mrs. Santa); the Beach Party Dance that Jim/Helen Dunlop chaired (didn't you love the bathing suits on the figures) and the Extra Touch Valentine Dance, chaired by Sandy/Marcia Rubenstein. A special well done for this year's officers: Charlie/Kathy Porter, Presidents; VP's: Floyd/Fran Miller and Romeo/Pat Pettinato; Secretaries: Jim/Helen Dunlop; Sam/Grace 1ppolito, Treasurers; Pete/Joan Yuskevich, NNJSDA Delegates and Alternates, Norman/ Susan Reid. Then we had those dedicated Raiders: Jim/Barbara Branigan and what would we do without the faithful Bellottis. Yes, we are having a successful season due to our capable leaders and great love of square dancing by our members.

Be sure to mark the 1st Sunday in February, 1990 -for next year's Deborah Benefit Dance - we scheduled it a week earlier to avoid conflict with other class dances. We raided the Princeton Squares with 19 %, couples in March, when Dill Heyman and Stefan Sidholm, from Sweden, called a very enjoyable dance. It's no lie, foreign callers do use the same terminology that we are accustomed to hearing. Our annual Barn Dance in March was a success, as usual.

This being the last, one tends to pause for an over-the-shoulder glance at our dance year just ending. It has been a fine year for the M.T. Squares. We moved to a new dance location at the Avenel Learning Center, which has proven to be a move in the right direction. Na have been raided by a numbeL of Eine clubs, in many cases I'm sure-- in response to our raids. That is a worthwhile activity that should not diminish. Also not to diminish thru the summer is round dancing with Peg/Joe Dockry ...Thurs. from 7:00 to 10:00 with intermediate workshops from 7:00 to 8:00 at our Menlo Park Terrace location. In my first report for this dance season, I pointed to the preseason work done by executive board members in order to guarantee an enjoyable year for their clubs. At that time, the M.T. Squares had good reason to look forward to an exciting season of dance and at this point, I join my fellow members in thanking Mary/Mike Adleman and their hard working board for one of our best years. At the time this GRAND SQUARE hits the street...there will be only one or two dances left on many club schedules. You can find us at the Avenel Learning Center for the next few 1st and 3rd Saturdays, with pre-rounds from 7:30 and the regular squares from 8:00 to 10:30. We'd love to see you!!!

It's up to the more experienced dancers to make them feel welcome and wanted. Encourage them to attend the Summer dances and attend them yourselves...whenever you can. The Graduates have worked long and hard hours. They deserve the rewards that will be theirs , as they bid farewell to the Student days and become regular Full-fledged Dancers. However, new dancers as well as experienced dancers should keep in mind, that as the "Class of '89" becomes a finished chapter in the history of S/D'g, plans for the "Class of '90" must be made. This will require some effort on all our parts. It's the only way to guarantee the future of S/D'g. Talk to your non-dancing friends. Tell them about the fun you have and tell them about the physical benefits. Tell them about the friendships to be made and AND,don't forget to tell them how great it is to the good times to be had get all dressed up. Tell them about the Fall Lessons coming up and invite them to "check them out" - as your guests. Let's all do a little missionary work during the summer months to guarantee a big, "flock" of dancers for If III the Class of 1990 cc-olweina/Gene CoAgai_81 718-356-6067 Sincere thanks to DOT MEYERS for her program on "Medical Emergencies" which she presented the hour before the Delegates Meeting. 27 9 //ZLL cuy SQUARES -- New (4NOVLdenCei N Hill View School, 340 Cent /1.a' Ave. / 3 FaLday4 Overshadowing all other events was the difficult decision made in March to merge Hill City with two other clubs. Following the decision to merge, representatives of the merged clubs decided to meet first and third Fridays for Plus dancing and second and fourth Saturdays for Mainstream. The new club name is HARMONY DANCERS; club colors are royal blue and white. Dancing will take place in Mountainside in a hall described as spacious and beautiful -- one of the best. Hill City charter members Iry and Blanche Weaver were present for the vote, reminding members of Hill City's many years (over 35) of Square Dancing fun and friendship. Successful Hill City raids continued into the Spring. An impromptu raid was organized by members for a visit to Somerset Hills, which was preceded by dinner at a nearby restaurant. This was soon followed by an organized raid on Valley Squares..preceded by a much appreciated lasagna dinner in the home of Dwight and Mary Rice. With the announcement by Leo Eckmann of meeting for dinner at Yardley Inn during the convention and the invitation by Wayne/Kay Schroeder to eat in their home preceding club's trip to Manny Amor's live music bash, it was suggested the Club should be dubbed the "eating and dancing" club. President Jean Richtmyre suggested the need for an affiliation with Weight Watchers! &Lee/Cunt TAomen 20/-762-6295 (Ad on page 5 1 DM COME DANCE WITH US!

And speaking of raids, what bettef Lime Lhan now to thank John/Connie Huetteman for setting up these raids & for the enthusiasm they generate encouraging club members to participate. In February we held a very successful Chinese Auction - both monetary/wise and fun/wise - there were so many lovely items to bid on & take home. Our Presidents' Night was well attended by the Presidents/officers of our neighboring clubs & we thank them sincerely for coming out. They well deserve the recognition that is bestowed on them. There can be no doubt that all who attended the Annual Dinner Dance at the Brownstone Inn found it a perfect way to spend a dreary Sunday afternoon when it is neither winter nor spring. There was certainly nothing dreary about the great dancing, delicious dinner, and everyone looking great in their Sunday Best. Allana & her committee did a super job putting it all together. The best treat was having Jack Cochrane back, joining us at this affair. It has been said that Ed Johnson is "waltzing" the Malls, which would indicate that he is getting ready to waltz around the Club with his lovely Ruth by his side - hope it's soon! Before long we'll have all our students graduating & would like to remind them that Hix & Chix dances every week all summer in our fully air-conditioned hall. We invite YOU to join us & share in the hospitality of the Hix & Chix members.

Our own Herb Rivkin, who has been teaching a R/D Basics class, has also been busy cueing at area clubs, the NJ Convention, & even at the Connecticut festival, where much to the delight of the dancers, he was an on-the-spot substitute for one of the CT cuers. Our R/D program is thriving to the point where Roy Gotta is teaching the R/D & S/D rounds of the month lst/3rd Tuesdays. We're looking forward to our annual dinner dance in June at the Colonial Manor, Old Tappan, NJ.

Once again, Bill/ Vera Clampett shared their woodcraft with St Pat's dancers - THANKS! The NJ State convention generated plenty of enthusiasm, which spilled over into our Amateur Caller event the next night. Cross Trails' new graduate, Frank Benvenuti, volunteered to start, before he had a chance to be nervous; followed by fix & Chix VP Dick Dexter, who made Brenda proud. A pleasant surprise was the lovely, low voice of Betty Hughes, with a little help/hindrance from Vince, while FAD's VP Jim Broderick shone in spite of Pat's absence (recuperating from a shattered kneecap). We've all missed Pat, who should be back by the time you read this. Belles & Beaux incoming VP, Dick Mazziotti, proved beyond any doubt that his voice doesn't require amplification - we'd like to figure out just exactly what the dancers were doing when he called "grand square"! Fran Wadel, Tenafly's VP, called while leaning on crutches - another first. Our ever-faithful Caller's Hauler, who willingly squares up every dance night with various & sundry ladies, treated the dancers to a final singing call - George, we all love you, even if it took 5 figures to get everyonaback to their original partner!

We also raid and are raided regularly. A great group of 4 squares from Spinning Wheels raided us in Jan. and brought with them much warmth & fellowship. We thank them.

It is available for recruitment purposes, but can 1,00-' be used for other purposes. There are names and addresses for folks interested in the S/D activity to call AND plenty of room for a club to add personal contacts in their own immediate area. These phamphlets are available from the 2nd VP - (see back cover) or from the GRAND SQUARE Editors. Remember tho, while these handouts are great, it is the PERSONAL invitation and bringing of a non-dancer to the class - the personal touch - that is the best approach. /fr 37 (+1 CLOVERL6AFS - Um wood Pank, lit FaLdayA WV HaLI, 6 Vetenan4 21 Anyone that missed the Feb. dance surely missed an unusual event. Adding to the fun of a raid by Cross Trails & Western Wheelers, 5 couples from W.W. (unknown to our Pres & everyone else) dressed in formal evening attire, bedecked in jewels and furs; made a formal 'champagne' toast to 'The House of Cloverleafs' from 'The House of Western Wheelers' (Leo/Rose Rogers, Gus/Marilyn Bachmann, John/Madelyn Kerner, Andy/Gerry Musante, Ed/Clara Klotz). These 5 couples later joined fellow W.W. in a raid of 4+ squares. The spirit of the 'toast' carried on throughout the night, creating a most friendly & enjoyable occasion. Our Presidents' dance in March with Ray Lehberger calling, was a funfilled night. We had a great turnout of pres. from all over. It's always a pleasure to honor these people for all the time & hard work they put into their clubs & S/D for our enjoyment. Thank you, Doc/Peg Tirrell, our cuers; and John/Connie Huetteman, our pres., for adding much pleasure to our dances. Don't miss out on all the fun - come to our next Cloverleafs dance!

Circle 8's sponsors the 4th Fri. of each month; other clubs host dances on 2nd & 3rd Fridays. We've designed new raid dangles & invite all clubs to raid us with 2 or more squares. We filled the hall with a good crowd in Feb. at our Presidents' Ball. The tasty treats served by our refreshment committee was just the icing on the cake of an enjoyable dance. Circle Eights is one of the sponsoring clubs for the New Milford Tenderfeet. In May we hope to graduate 2 doz. new dancers, taught this year by Andy Woerner. We hope they'll take advantage of all the graduate dances being sponsored by us & other clubs. The only way to polish your dancing is to keep dancing. It's fun, relaxing, and you'll leave with a smile on your face. On a more sombre note, we'd like to extend our sympathy to Mrs. Anton on the death of her husband, Charles.

A few weeks after coming home from the hospital, Oscar made the trip to the 3rd Annual Square Dance Convention in Trenton. Other members, Ann Kravitz, Hope Engelson and Patty Connors also went and seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Patty worried about me being alone tending my shop and took time out of her festivities a couple of times to bring me a cup of cold water. Donna Anderson (wife of caller Bill Anderson, who did a great job calling our Feb. dance) also spelled me while I had to leave the room briefly. Thanks ladies. We had a super St. Patrick's dance with Bill Heyman calling, and some marvelous March Mitten tips with John Carlton calling. Our club caller, Dick Pasvolsky, calls a fine dance, filling in with line dances sometimes. Once in a while we are even lucky enough to be visited by new caller and line dancer leader, Lois Bichler. Some of the R.I.O.S. students have been attending our Mainstream dances and getting some extra practice in addition to their lesson night. I'm sure this will hone their dance skills even sharper.

At the Association's Spring Fling, the annual welcome for the Class of 1989 dance" sponsored by the NNJSDA the 2VP's, Dick & Shirley White, distributed these to all the attendees. 41 From The Dahl House LADIES' BELT "SLIP-COVER" What a wonderful time everyone seemed to be having at the 3rd Annual Square Dance Convention. I was lucky enough to spend the entire day with my shop in the last available vendor space. I needed an idea for this column, so, while I didn't get to dance, I did get to talk, and most of all listen, to some terrific people who visited and, sure enough came through, unbeknownst to them. Several ladies were looking for belts in colors I didn't have. I didn't think of it then but it has since occurred to me that I solved that problem once by making a fabric slip-cover" for one of my stretch belts. Put a stretch belt on and then measure the elastic part (not the metal or plastic fasteners) around your waist. Add. 3" (or more if you need "growing room") to that for the cutting length. For the cutting width, measure the height of the stretch belt (usually between 2" & 3"), double that, and add 1" seam allowance. You now know the size of the piece of fabric you need for the "slip-cover". You may want to use the same fabric as the dress or just the same or coordinated color as your dress, slip, shoes,partner's shirt or whatever. Fold fabric the long way, right sides together, and stitch the 2 long sides together leaving the ends of dais long tube open. Turn this tube right side out however you choose, then push one end of the stretch belt through the tube, keeping the seam centered in the back. Fold 1" or 1i" of the front side through the metal fastener however the elastic is put through, fold neatly with the back fabric and safety pin in place. You can stitch this if you want a more permanent cover. If you have a "butterfly belt" or the kind of stretch belt where the elastic can be adjusted by opening 2 prongs and removing the metal fasteners then do that, cover the elastic with your fbric tube, and put your new "slipcovered" belt back in the metal fasteners as one. " When you are not wearing the belt the fabric cover will look too big, but when you put it on it should stretch out and look custom fitted. 42 CALnoa The long-awaited commercial video tapes for use in promoting our wonderful activit The International Association are now available thru CALLERLAB. These of Square Dance Callers tapes, produced as public service announce ments, are produced in 2 formats - a VHS video and a I" video for studio use. Each has 3 separate & very different commercials: "Couch Potato" is a 30 second spot - bored couch potatoes viewing scenes of S/D - are "Scenic America" - 30 seconds - scenes of various we having fun yet? people/places/S/D scenes - 'All America is Coming Home To S/Ding" "Perceptions" - 60 seconds - a narrative concerning perceptive impressions Theme: S/Ding is a fun/friendly recreation; S/Ding is what's of S/Ding happening. At the end of each taped commercial is a spot for insertion of a phone number for info. Because these tapes were designed as public service announcements, your local TV station should not charge you for 'air time'. Those who've viewed the tapes are most enthusiastic. Several callers came home from the CALLERLAB convention with these Lapes. Both SDCNJ and CCNJ may be contacted if you can get them on the air. This, the first project of the CALLERLAB Foundation, is a step in the right direction of the Callerlab 1989 theme of "Recruit, Promote, Maintain Callerlab wishes to thank all who've donated to the Foundation.

Many teachers (i) from the U.S.. Canada & overseas have indicated they 016 ) 0i0 will be attending. Unlike the NSDC, the ROUNDALAB convention is not a dancing convention, but is a "sit-down" working convention where the attendees not only consider the business aspects of the organization, but spend much time discussing, defining and placing figures in ROUNDALAB's Six Phases of round dancing. This year ROUNDALAB will also be preparing a teaching progression guideline in the form of a list broken out into the ROUNDALAB Phases by rhythms and updating the ROUNDALAB Reference Manual. The new video tapes will be previewed at this meeting. Various committees meet daily from 9 to 5 while evening hours are devoted to educational programs. Although the convention officially closes Tuesday. anall day Teachers' Seminar/Clinic is conducted on Wednesday, which most attend. Following these busy four days, most ROUNDALAB members stay for the remainder of the week to volunteer their services and participate in the National Square Dance Convention. Teaching units who attend ROUNDALAB & remain for the NSDC are a dedicated group of professional leaders.. They are not only giving up at least a week of vacation and/or family time, but are also spending their own money - well over $1,500. No one ever received any remuneration for this week and few ever have any time to even go sightseeing. Their reward is in the fun and fellowship of the activity, honing their own skills and expertise, expanding their knowledge and knowing that they are contributing to the fori4ard progress of the round dance movement. If your leaders are among those present in Oklahoma City, please tell them "THANK YOU" and that you do appreciate their riPriieaten. *************************************************** "efe.

Originally the vast majority of its officers were from CA, but as the organization (c-CL grew, its officers began to represent various regions of the US. Former NNJSDA Presidents, Frank/Nan Habersberger, serve as its Treasurer & spearheaded an unsuccessful campaign for designating the Square Dance the National Folk Dance. The USDA provides members with an economical accident and group disability insurance; initiated a "handicapable" dance program; and provides educational and leadership handouts. They also have a program to obtain a Square Dance Commemorative Stamp and recently introduced a Square Dancers Mastercard.

They sponsored the first two N.J. State Conventions and were almost too successful. The success generated profits and a controversy. The N.J. State Convention, like many other state conventions and the National Square Dance Convention, was staffed by volunteers, all of whom paid a registration fee. There were some members of the SDCNJ (who are delegates from callers', cuers', and dancers' associations) who felt that the callers and cuers should not have to pay the registration fee, since they were donating their time and, in some cases, had given up paying jobs to support the convention. Other delegates felt that the other volunteers, who gave much time to the convention work, would feel slighted if the callers and cuers were not charged. The fact that the first two conventions had not only paid for themselves, but generated considerable profit was used by both factions as a support to their positions. Meanwhile, CALLERLAB was forming a Foundation with the purpose of promoting square dancing and preserving our dance heritage. Betsy Gotta, a Delegate to the SDCNJ and a Member of the Board of Governors of CALLERLAB, took on the job of N.J. fund raising chairman for the CALLEILAB Foundation. A letter to various people around the state requesting help to hold fund raising dances produced the opinion that extra dances would not help the N.J. square dance picture at this time. Betsy then sent a letter to the Square Dance Council of New Jersey requesting that a portion of the profits from the first two N.J. State Conventions he donated to the CALLERLAB Foundation. As a caller, she felt that her registration fee would be well spent if it helped generate profit which would help the CALLERLAB Foundation. The SDCNJ delegates, members of Bucks-Trenton District, Callers' Council of N.J., Central N.J. Square Dance Association, Dance Leaders of Delaware Valley, Delaware Valley Round Dance Teachers Council, Northern . N.J. Round Dance Leaders Council, Northern N.J. Square Dancers Association, and the Penn-Jersey District, carefully considered both questions. They voted to donate 10% of the profits ($1,288.00) to the CALLERLAB Foundation. They also voted to establish criteria, including a local program, which would exempt the callers, cuers, and other professional leaders from the payment of the registration fee. The Third N.J. State Convention was recently held and was another success. That probably means more profits. The SDCNJ has several projects in mind to use the money to promote square dancing. One currently being tried is sponsoring a newsletter for class dancers to help them feel included in the total square dance picture. Delegates of the SDCNJ should be proud of their solution to their problem. They definitely are proud to have contributed to the commercials recently produced by the CALLERLAB Foundation. 48 I am responding to the letter in the Winter Issue and would like to expand on the ideas presented. Here are a few ideas to reach out to all ages: *Demos with a mixture of all ages. Have the audience join in. *Perhaps the NNJSDA could prepare Cable TV ads showing people of all ages enjoying our activity. *Put on demos at western/folk dancing clubs, etc. These people are already pre-disposed to an activity like square dancing. *A club or closely situated group of clubs could hire a When companies or civic organizations have barn dances, childsitter. hayrides, etc., try to arrange a demo. *Make everyone feel welcome and be happy if younger people in your club want to he officers! (More ideas to follow in the next issue). Name Available on Request Re: "How Do We Treat Our Future Leaders?" Just last night I found myself at a country western dinner dance. It was packed with mostly 20's/30's people. I found myself reflecting on the reason that these young people were not in square dancing. One reason seems to he the pace. There were mostly live music dances with the tuestep and the country swing (a close relative of the jitter bug). Square Mary Synder (4-H Leader) dancing can get draggy at times. Re: "Food For Thought" I hate prearranged squares. I would be happiest to always be the first one up, come who may, to fill the square. I always urge that everything possible be done to make the newer dancer comfortable. But I have also been accused of pushing, pulling, demeaning. Most people are happiest when they square up and keep dancing with a minimum of breakdown. I have also apologized to people because I thought I had pushed or pulled just to keep us going and have had them thank me for helping them keep dancing. Not everyone reacts the same.

Happy dancing & a very warm welcome to the graduates! Those of us who have been a part of this activity greet you most enthusiastically and tell you that some of the happiest days of your life are yet to come. Whatever it was that brought you into this activity, whether it was the recommendation of friends, curiosity or desire to learn comething different, you will soon discover many reasons to be glad that you became a square dancer. Like almost any social recreation, square dancing has certain guidelines which add to the pleasures of the activity. Here's a list of ten from The Square Dancers' Indoctrination Handbook - 1- Be a good listener. 2- Get into squares quickly. 3- Be a courteous dancer. 4- Be on time for clubs and class. 5- Be a thoughtful dancer. 6- Be a cooperative dancer. 7- Take it easy. 8- Be a friendly dancer. 9- You are never through learning. and 10- ENJOY yourself- HAVE FUN!. The responsibility of being friendly rests on the shoulders of each Never hesitate to introduce yourself to others person in our activity. in your group or square. As you've discovered by now, making a goof is not a social blunder. It casts no permanent blot on your character. So, when you feel you've made a mistake, remember the object is simply to recover as quickly and effortlessly as possible. Never allow yourself to become angry with anyone who might be a little slower in learning; and do not become angry with yourself! You'll be able to help others the most just by being in the right place at the right time with the proper hands ready. Enjoy each step in your square dancing experiences. The true fun in our activity is not based on "how much you know" but on how well you can do those things you already have been taught and how friendly you you are. And make plans now to bring your non-dancing friends along to next year's beginners class. 52 CO CO ci—z •K _,.. , 0 ■ACC ae 0 =, -CO re . ■=■ 2C I.-.

Koenig, NAISDIVNORDICLiabion The NNJ Round Dance Leaders Council met recently at the home of Paul/ Jeanne Brody. Jean Kellogg, moderator, suggested a survey be taken on whether or not the Rounds of the Month were used at the Square Dance clubs. Round Dancers should request that the S/D ROM be taught at their S/D club. At the July RDLC meeting, Bonnie Busch will conduct a voice workshop and show proper use of the mike. The Smarrellis (MD) will be doing a workshop at the October meeting. We hope to see you at our May RDLC dance. Our fall special will be the 1st Sun. in November. Did you know the Northern New Jersey Round Dance Leaders Council (NNJRDLC), comprised of most of the area's cuers, meets periodically to select Rounds of the Month (ROMs). These selections, chosen for round dancers in both S/D & R/D clubs, introduce new dances into the area or highlight a classic dance. The ROM program allows you to travel to other clubs & dance familiar dances to other cuers, as all Council members are supposed to include the ROMs in their program. These dances are also programmed into the NNJRDLC Round Dance Festivals in the spring and fall. You say you never have the ROMs cued at your club? Then, as a dancer, you may request they play the ROM. Grand Squarepublishes the selections. Club officers can, when contracting cuers, request that the ROMs be workshopped and cued at their club. It is becoming increasingly common to hear the cuer announce the phase rating of the dance, along with its title. What, exactly, is a Phase? And who determines what figures belong to each phase? Phases are standards set by Roundalab. Using the concept of 6 degrees of difficulty within which to work, ROUNDALAB membership is continually working to place R/D figures into these 6 categories or phases. Figures, once defined, are placed in a Phase according to their degree of difficulty as it relates to the amount of turn, the # of steps and/or the difference in each partner's footwork. Because the R/D activity encourages creativity in choreography, figures from different phases may be utilized in any given dance routine. However, the routine is rated according to the phase of the most difficult figure used. Phase I and II ("Easy " or S/D rounds) are dances that can be done to cues, and include classics like "Very Smooth", "Could I Have This Dance", and "New York, NY". Phase III (some call it "Easy Intermediate") introduces some newer concepts, figures, and rhythms & includes dances like "Inner Harbor Waltz", "Answer Me", and "Patricia". These are the levels cued most often at the club dances and specials in this area. The remaining levels are Phase IV ("Intermediate") and Phases V ("High Intermediate") and VI ("Advanced"). Roundalab publishes booklets listing these figures with the descriptions. Our council chose as ROMs: APR: S/D "Paradise Waltz", R/D "Dream 'n' Foxtrot" MAY: S/D "Fiddlestepper Polka", R/D "Wagon Wheel Rumba". No ROMs are chosen for the summer months. .

C'mon up and join us. The entire NQR class as well as a bunch of "old" club members invaded the NJ State Convention in April, and marched in three squares strong. Most of us stayed at the Red Roof Inn again (this time the manager didn't try to kick us out for being too noisy!). We are also trying an experiment - PLUS dancing on Sunday afternoons in Bergenfield. Our first Plus dance was in March and everyone who attended had a great time.
