This page is designed to list the calls we have learned, with links to animated instructions as to how the calls are done. If you are in this class and happen to miss a week or two, you can visit this page to see what you have missed, get instructions on how to do the call. Also, Angels will be regularly arriving for the class 20 minutes early for the purpose of teaching calls that dancers have missed or would just like to review.
