 | | In traditional, or Eastern square dancing, one generally encounters a fairly small number of different dances, with the choreography for a particular song varying only a little from place to place or with time. |
 | | Modern Western square dancing is a standardized outgrowth of this, which was created by Callerlab, an organization of square dance callers. |
 | | For example, the entry level Callerlab program, Basic, consists of about 50 calls, including such familiar ones as "dosados," "allemande left," and "right and left grand." Because the dancers are expected to already know the calls on the announced program, teaching is generally not done at a dance. |
