Some people ask me what kind of music I typically use.  I use square dance music (mostly on 45 RPM records) made specifically for square dancing.  Most of the music I use can be classified as old time popular and country music, although there are some newer country songs made into square dance records also.

 

There are two primary types of square dance music: Hoedowns (for general patter calling), and Singing calls (songs that have words that go with them.

 

Below is just a sampling of some of my favorite records that I use for both.
