 | | Like many things presumed to be uniquely American, square dancing is in fact an extension and refinement of numerous foreign influences brought to this country by early immigrants. |
 | | Owing its origins to the French Quadrilles, the Irish Jigs, the English Reels, and the Spanish Fandangos, square dancing evolved from the Country Dancing of New England, the Confederate Reels of Virginia and the Carolinas, and the Running Sets of Appalachia. |
 | | The four-couple "square" and caller format allows for the infinite variety of dance experiences that continue to delight both veteran and beginning dancers. |
