"What a relief this cd was in teaching square dance skills to kindergarten and first graders. Unlike other "easy" square dance albums for kids, it starts simple but zippy. I could get everyone to participate and beg for more! It was such a success, someone "borrowed" my cd, so I am ordering another. In fact, I'm ordering 3 to share with my colleagues."
Good for a Family (Beginner) Square Dance

"Our homeschool group just had a successful Family Square Dance (beginners only) for all ages (school-age & adult) using only this CD and some in-person instructions taken pretty much directly off the CD insert. I played the "facilitator" (Slim does the actual "calling" and the music is fun)by introducing the song, reading some instructions from the insert and occassionally using our mike to voice over "more instructions" when things seemed to bog down - but for the most part we had a great time and couldn't have done it without this very inexpensive CD. Professional callers can be big bucks but if your group is beginner and you just want some good family fun this is your ticket! :-)"
Good Square Dance Party Music

"Calls were clear and easy to follow. Very good for private parties or professional square dancers alike."
The Worst!

"I'm an elementary school physical education teacher, always on the lookout for good square dance discs. Although I call my own dances to instrumental only discs, occasionally I like to get a disc with calls done for me. This is the WORST square dance disc I've ever heard! The band is bad enough, but Slim calls the dances in the most hideous off key monotone... and he sounds bored doing it to boot! Don't say you weren't warned!"
Great CD for kids

"This CD is great to use with kids, especially those who are new to square dancing. The calls are clear and easy to follow, and the CD insert gives the meanings of the calls if you don't know them already. I've used it with 3-12 year olds with much success."
