The Social Square Dance Program was created by Callerlab to allow new dancers to complete a dance program in a shorter period (twelve to fourteen weeks). This program teaches approximately fifty moves (“calls”) instead of the sixty-seven in the Basic and Mainstream Program.
The program is designed as a stand alone “destination” program, so that dancers can enjoy dancing at this level. Some dancers may remain at the SSD level, while others may wish to learn the remaining moves in the Basic and Mainstream program.

The SSD Moves List shows the moves used in the SSD program and those in the Basic and Mainstream Program which have been omitted. The “omitted” moves include more complex moves, such as “Do Paso”.
Information about individual moves can be found in the Basic and Mainstream lists above.

The SSD Lesson Plan shows the moves to be taught at each lesson in a suggested twelve-week program. Some moves are taught earlier than in the Basic and Mainstream lesson programs.
The Callerlab SSD Frequently Asked Questions document provides more information about the program.
