Dan Calloway's Routines

Routines

Note from Dan Calloway: These routines are designed primarily for training and development, although they may be ideal for performance use for some couples. Do not assume one routine in any particular dance suits all people, couples, or purposes. Feel free to modify any routine for better individual use. These modifications should include the deletion of underdeveloped choreography, the addition of omitted figures, and the rearrangement of the ordering of figures for more personally appropriate ease of use. The third use of choreography, besides training and performance, is personal enjoyment. Don't forget to have fun.
