When was square dancing discovered?
The following article was found in the archives of MACA (Mid Atlantic Challenge Association). The square dance is an American institution. It began in New England when the first settlers and the immigrant groups that followed, brought with them their various national dances, which we now call folk dances, but which were the popular dances of the day in the countries of their origin - the schottische, the quadrille, the jigs and reels and the minuet, to name a few. After a week of toil in building new homes and carving homes out of virgin forest, the settlers would gather in the community center on Saturday evening and enjoy dancing their old-world favorites. As the communities grew and people of different backgrounds intermingled, so did their dances. As the repertoire increased, it became increasingly difficult for the average person to remember the various movements. In almost any group, however, there would be at least one extrovert, the hail-fellow-well-met, the life-of-the-party type, with a knack for remembering the dance figures. With typical Yankee ingenuity, the settlers let this person cue or prompt them in case they happened to forget what came next. In due course, the prompter (or figure caller, as he became known) acquired a repertoire of various colorful sayings or patter that he could intersperse with the cues. Quite often he would learn the dances of other communities and he would teach them to the group. Some of these men were quite ingenious and developed dances and routines of their own, including dances for groups of four couples. This is the manner in which square dancing and its director (or caller) developed. * http://www.dosado.com/articles/hist-maca.html
As how dancepinoy.com defines it:
The dance got its name from two popular dances in the late 1800s: the polka and balse (waltz). Though the balse is mentioned in the name of this dance, there is no single waltz step used in this dance. The steps of this dance are identified as the luksong uwak (jumping crow), wagayway (fluttering), hardin (garden), punta y tacon (heel and toe), corrida (bullfight), paseo (leisurely walk), ensayo (practice), contragansa (hop-cross) and the contragansa doble (double hop cross).

What is the hellen Keller dance?
step one:
Put plugs in your ear.
step two:
Put on a blindfold.
step three:
Dance.
Below is a Historical connection to the song by 3OH!3 Don't Trust a Hoe. In Simpilar terms he is saying to do like Helene Keller and don't talk just dance. And that is what is ment by this.
No, Helen Keller was an American author, political activist and lecturer. She was the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. The story of how Keller's teacher, Annie Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become known worldwide through the dramatic depictions of the play and film The Miracle Worker. A prolific author, Keller was well traveled and was outspoken in her opposition to war. She campaigned for women's suffrage, workers' rights, and socialism, as well as many other progressive causes.
When they say "shoosh girl, shut your lips. Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips" they mean exactly what they say...to shut the hell up and just dance. This guy doesn't want to talk- so they referenced Helen Keller because she is a famous very accomplished deaf and blind woman of the late 19th century. And I am sure that when this band wrote/recorded this song they thought that if they referenced Helen ppl would know who they were talking about and what they meant. The band isn't making fun of anyone- not making fun of deaf/blind people....all the ignorant, uneducated people out there are who's making fun of deaf/blind people.
What are good dance summer schools?
I think that some of the best dance schools for summer programs would be,
. Pittsburgh Ballet Theater
. Orlando Ballet
. Boston Ballet
. Atlanta ballet
. BalletMet (Columbus Ohio)
Although many of them can get a little pricey, all of the above are fantastic programs that will definitely help you improve. BalletMet is probably one of the best options, because it is inexpensive (compared to most) and they have wonderful teachers. One of the teachers danced with the Bolshoi and Kirov ballet in Russia. He has also been a principal dancer with the Renaissance Ballet Theater, the Sacramento Ballet, and BalletMet Columbus. One of the other teachers was a soloist with the National Ballet of Canada, and a soloist English National Ballet, and she performed throughout Europe. I have done their summer program for several years in a row and I HIGHLY recommend it. BalletMet really wants to help you suceed and they have really made an effort to help me succeed in the dance world.
