A Colorado school leader named Lloyd 'Pappy' Shaw came up with the moves for the modern western form of this American folk dance during events run by Henry Ford. In Massachusetts and other states, the traditional version uses a 'caller' who shouts the moves. Which do-si-do group dance, the official state dance in nearly 20 US states, do they share?

Question

Accepted Answer

Square dance. Modern western square dance, with its set 'calls' and programs, grew out of Lloyd 'Pappy' Shaw's mid-1900s teaching in Colorado and Henry Ford's dances in Michigan. In Massachusetts and many other US states, the traditional version still uses a 'caller' who shouts the moves. It is the official state dance of nearly 20 US states.
