   Extractions: FREE! Submit New Listing Feedback Contact Us Search ... Link To Us It is difficult to trace exactly the roots of our modern square and round dancing, for they are deep and varied. Certainly, the taproots go back to our English and French ancestors, but there are traces of Scottish, Scandinavian, Spanish, and other elements. One might speculate that the dance itself began as an imitative art, i.e., early man imitating some of the ritualistic dances of the animals. Historically, dance seems to have reached its low point during the days of the classical Greek, when it was looked upon as an ignoble activity. Aristotle was supposed to have said, "No citizen should pursue these arts (music and dance) so far that he approaches professional status," and relegated such activities to slaves, freedmen and foreigners. The great Roman, Cicero, said, "Nobody dances unless he is drunk or unbalanced mentally." Italy saw the renaissance of the dance in the 15th century, but France may be said to be the Mother of the modern art. Many of our dance terms show this French connection, including the call dos-a-dos, which means back-to-back. Unquestionably, the English ancestor of our modern square dance was the great Morris dance. It was an exhibition dance done by trained teams of Morris dancers - six men (women did not participate) in two rows of three. Later on, in the 17th century, country dances became all the rage in England. Many were longways or line dances, and some believe that the contra got its name either from a mispronunciation of "country" or from the fact that the dances were done in two, opposing lines. At the same time, people did "rounds for as many as will", some of which resembled the choral dances often danced in the naves of English churches.

17. Challenge Square Dancing: Myths And Responses
    Challenge square dancing Myths and Responses. by amount. Myth 2 Thehighest 'level' of modern western square dancing is C4. 99% True.  
    http://www.lynette.org/myths.html
    
    Extractions: by Clark Baker (myths proposed by Nasser Shukayr) The following interchange was a subject of discussion at the recent Berkshire weekend and I was asked to post it. On AOL, there is a western square dance discussion group. On that group, this list of myths was posted and one of the readers forwarded it to me, and offered to post my reply back to that list. While I assume that it happened, I have received no feedback one way or the other. The vast majority of people I know DO NOT dance the Challenge programs, and many people really know very little about these programs. In the absence of hard facts, myths sometimes arise. The following are some myths I've heard about the Challenge programs. (Don't know where I heard 'em, I just heard 'em). Before you read my answers, you should think about each myth and what it would say about the people in that part of the activity if it were true, and if it were false. Why would such a myth get started? Why does it get propagated? Should anyone care if it is true? Myth #1: At C-1 and above, most dance activities are secret and by invitation only, to prevent the problem of dancers showing up who can't do the calls.
