Jeff's Square Dance Related Articles
These are articles related to Square Dancing that I have written. I recently re-found the original WORD files documents for the olders ones. Most of the newer ones have been copied from my archive of "Australian Callers Federation" newsletter "Callerlink", (which I was editor of for several years). The "date" information is based upon the "last save date" of the original documents. Some of the dates might not be correct, but should be close.
SQUARE DANCING IS A MODEL FOR THE WORLD
Excerpt from Callerlink Issue 206 (Editors Christmas message for December 2011)
By: Jeff Garbutt, Western Australia
Christmas time’s a coming. It is time to remember and re-affirm our links to other people. Time to remember that we are in a lucky country. And time to look forward to our future and help to make the world a better place.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all the people of the world got together and worked together for a common outcome of good? Well Square Dancing is a perfect model of how this can be achieved! Thinkabout it, we can conceivably have 8 individual people who may come from very diverse backgrounds, have 8 very different religious and political beliefs and come from different ethnic backgrounds. Put them in a square and they can all work together to a common goal and have fun at the same time. To me that is a model that our United Nations could look at.
