Square Dance: Table of Contents

Square dancing is great for mind, body, and spirit!
This page contains links to Basic 1, Basic 2, and Mainstream index cards
to summarize each call.
Jump right to the index card table of contents!



Basic 1

Mainstream
Color-printed copies for all index cards are available at Amazon.
Make them into a stack of easy-to-take-to-dances study cards, or use as reference books.


Color-print each index card (below).
If you get the Amazon books,
cut each page close to the spine.
These retractable razor knives work well. 		Cut out the cards.
Use a paper cutter or rotary cutter/quilting ruler/self-healing mat (my choice). 		Tape/staple/glue onto 4" x 6" index cards.
(I prefer tape.)
Use different colors for
Basic 1/Basic 2/Mainstream
to easily differentiate the levels.
(The card color just peeks out
around the edges.)
