Sample Feedback & Reviews
Bill & Becky from Florida - May 2013
“The Mainstream DVD is a ‘must buy’ for anyone wanting to
learn Mainstream Square Dancing. We just completed Mainstream square dance lessons
and, thanks to the DVD, we were able to review any calls we were weak on before the
next lesson. It was great to be able to watch dancers perform the calls. We cannot
imagine trying to complete the lessons without being able to go over and review what
we learned in the previous lessons because there is so much to learn. Also, the way
the DVD is set up, you can quickly and easily go to any particular call you need help
with. This DVD really is an invaluable tool for anyone wanting to make learning
easier.”
Wayne & Sharon from Texas - March 2013
“We want to thank you for your
‘Instant Hoedown’ instructional DVD/CD,
it worked well with 65 5th thru 8th graders. We were able to have them dancing to
music the first week. We ended week 4 (1 hour session per week) with a dancing session
of one hour. They loved it and the instructors did too.”
Tom from Texas - March 2013
“We received the DVDs on Thursday and they are terrific.
My wife and I began square dance lessons for the second time in September last year
and are scheduled to graduate from plus in April. Your DVDs are a great review tool
for us. Thanks for making such a wonderful contribution to our square dance learning
experience.”
Jack from Ontario - February 2013
“I am presently learning all of the "Plus" calls at a
senior centre and I have found Square Dancing to be one of the activities that keeps
my mind fresh and provides physical activity (as I love to dance for that reason).
Your [Plus Reference] Square Dance video made it very easy for me to both learn and
review my moves. Of particular note was: 1- The colour coded dress code made it very
easy to trace a single dancer's steps. 2- The music was at full dance speed and not
slowed down, which I liked. 3- Several moves were demonstrated from different start
positions. 4- The styling of some of the dancing was really nice to watch. 5- My mind
and listening skills are very active and so the square dancing activity provides both
mental and physical stimulation which is unique at the retirement age that I am at.
(Just turned 70) 6- I wish I had started square dancing years ago. 7- The demo
dances were really nice to watch. Thanks Again.”
Joe & Pat from Indiana - February 2013
“We have your Mainstream and Plus Reference DVDs - they
are wonderful and really helped us! When we were learning to dance we watched them
all the time. Now we still watch them to review calls when we have not been dancing
for a while. We told our friends to buy your Mainstream and Plus DVDs, and we now want
to purchase your Square Dance Party Pack so we can dance even when we do not have a
caller.”
Rodney & Jan from Florida - January 2013
“We have both your Mainstream and Plus Reference DVDs and
we have been watching you every night. I really believe everyone who is learning to
square dance should have your DVDs. You did an excellent job making them and they
really help us to understand the calls.”
Bill from Nevada - January 2013
“Wow, we will have fun now and learn so much thanks to
you! Our retirement community group has separate practice sessions with your CDs.
We encourage people to view your Reference DVDs prior to coming to our practice
sessions. The ultimate would be to have a huge TV screen to play your DVDs while the
dancers are watching, and then do the dance. We have no such luxury so cope with
playing the CDs on a boom box after reading through your call lists. Thanks for the
communications and good luck to you in your promotion of square dancing. We support
you!”

Laurie from California - October 2012
“The California 8th grade Physical Education content standards
include instruction in square dance. As a California middle school physical education
teacher, I have been using the Instant Hoedown, and Mainstream, DVD programs for over
a year with great success. Basically, all of my students have never seen anyone
square dancing before, so using the Traveling Hoedowners DVDs really helps my students
see and understand how to square dance more quickly. I highly recommend the Traveling
Hoedowners instructional DVDs whether you are teaching others to square dance or
learning yourself.”
Review by Video Librarian Magazine - January/February 2012
“Instant Hoedown! ***1/2 (2011) 2 discs. 137 min
The clockwork precision of square dancing has never looked more entertaining than in
Instant Hoedown! (a double-disc DVD set with an accompanying CD), which presents - over the
course of 10 mini-lessons - both the vocabulary and essential choreography of the form.
Featuring seasoned callers Scotty Sharrer and Roland Morin (who also serve as guides for
home viewers) and the Traveling Hoedowners (four couples who demonstrate the various
movements), this how-to looks at the basics - squaring sets, home positions, identifying
corners, understanding what makes a head couple versus a side couple - before tackling fun
stuff such as pass-throughs, star-throughs, twirling, and promenading. Highly
recommended.”

Even if you have never square danced, you can hold a western themed party or square dance party using our Instant Hoedown DVD / CD set. Are you taking a square dance class? Use our mainstream video and plus video to review and supplement your square dancing lessons. Before you buy any other square dance instructional video, please view the sample chapters from our instructional DVDs and read our endorsements & testimonials. Square dance tapes do not offer instant access to the square dance calls you want to review. We know of no other product that lets you see live dancers with a downward angle for a clear view of what is going on, along with closeups as necessary to clearly demonstrate the square dance calls. Learn to square dance, have fun, and get exercise all at the same time! The Traveling Hoedowners square dance group has helped dancers in every state and in over 20 countries around the world.
