Arkansas Traveler square dance

Bob Dalsemer calls at the Dare To Be Square weekend held November 18-20, 2011, at the John C. Campbell Folk School, Brasstown, NC. This version, with the cross trail figure, comes from "Dance a While" by Harris, Pittman & Waller. Musicians are Steve Hickman and Jim Morrison, fiddles; Claudio Buchwald, piano; Sam Bartlett, banjo, joined by Phil Jamison, banjo, and Larry Edelman, guitar. The tune is "Arkansas Traveller." The weekend was sponsored by the Folk School and by Country Dance and Song Society. It brought six well-known callers and 70 square dance enthusiasts together to explore many different styles of squares, including both traditional and modern. The organizers will post additional video clips-- watch this space!-- as well as make audio clips and a syllabus available. This video posting is part of the Square Dance History Project.
