Statistics on the current popular
ity of our American folk dancing
would stagger any old-time country
caller. There are now organized
groups in urban communities in
every state of the Union. At least
378 cities have arranged square,
dance programs under municipal
auspices. In big cities like Chicago
and New York, park-department
sessions attract crowds of 5000.
Privately-sponsored affairs draw
additional thousands. A recent sur
vey counted 700 groups totalng
10000 square dancers in Illinois,
the largest concentration of these
being in Chicago itself. Denver has
more than SO groups meeting regu-
larly, which include 800 soldiers.
In the Detroit area there are $4,000
enthusiasts in the Dearborn section
alone. Henry Ford has long been a
square-dance enthusiast, sponsoring
many affairs among his friends and
employees there.

plenty of movement. Partners are so
frequently exchanged that by the
time the caller finally shouts, Meet

SWING Your PARTNERS!

Authorities disagree on the rea-
sons for the current boom in square
dancing. Some believe that interest
has been growing naturally. with
out becoming a raging fad, for years.
Others give good deal of the credit
to the managers of ski hotels and
dude ranches, who introduced the
art as after-dinner recreation at
their resorts.
Many hold that the war, by in
creasing our interest in everything
American, has brought new atten-
ton to our folk dancing. which is as
American as apple pie. The war. too,
has brought a new community spirit
to our cities; apartment-house cliff
dwellers who share defense work
with their neighbors have at last
realized the possibilities of sharing
recreation too.
0oing Modern?
WIrH everyone eager to learn the
art of swinging partners. teachers
and callers are naturally at pre-
mium. Many colleges have added
square dancing to their curricula.
Miss Elizabeth Burchenal, presi-
dent of the American Folk Dance
Society, has been travelling back and
forth across the continent. teaching
teachers of square dancing, and she
now claims the Henry Kaiser-like
production record of 500 such in
structors.
Having become a fad, square
dancing is naturally undergoing a
degree of modernization. Among the
younger set there's a distinct "hep

But such changes. though start

native folk dances may take comfort
in the report of a recent convention
