square dance music

Caller-accompanied country sounds

Square dance music is the musical accompaniment for square dancing, typically featuring fiddles, banjos, and guitars playing lively traditional tunes.

The music includes a caller's voice giving instructions to dancers over the melody.

The tempo is brisk and steady to keep dancers moving through their figures: The band struck up some square dance music and couples formed their sets.
