CALLERS ARE REMINDED TO LIMIT THEIR CALLS TO THE ADVERTISED PROGRAM. CALLS FROM A LIST OTHER THAN ADVERTISED SHOULD NOT BE USED UNLESS THEY ARE WALKED THROUGH OR WORKSHOPPED FIRST

CALLERLAB recommends that the BASIC and MAINSTREAM Program, calls 1-69, be taught in not less than 58 hours.  We are currently working on a recommended teach time for just the BASIC program.  CALLERLAB also recommends that calls be taught from more than a single position (formation and arrangement) and that styling and timing be included as a part of the teaching program. Calls in italics may be deferred until later in the teaching sequence.

NOTE TO DANCE PROGRAMMERS
There is NO program called the Mainstream/Plus Program. No dancer is required to know Plus calls to attend a Mainstream open dance. Please advertise dance programs as Mainstream or Plus, NOT Mainstream/Plus.

These lists are furnished through the courtesy of CALLERLAB and your local CALLERLAB callers.
