Round Dancing Website — Inside you will find useful information on Round Dancing, and much of this information can be applied to Ballroom Dancing as well. Round Dancing is a form of social balroom dancing in which the steps are choreographed precisely to the music, and those steps are announced by a "Cuer," as we dance. The presence of the cuer makes a round dance look different to the usual ballroom dance—all the couples are dancing in unison—but otherwise round dancers are ballroom dancing.

Video Square Dance Lessons Online — You can learn or revise both Mainstream and Plus lessons on this site. The site is well indexed and the videos well produced. The caller is Larry Kraber who calls for Saddlebrooke Squares, USA. To play these videos you must have Adobe Flash Player 7.0+ installed on your computer.
