方块舞(Square Dancing)

早期殖民刚到美国时，他们带来许多不同形式的舞蹈：方块舞是最古老的美国民族舞蹈之一，由几种不同的旧世界团体舞蹈演变而来，主要来自于英国的舞蹈，或像其他人说的，来自于法国的卡德利尔舞 (French quadrille) 。 

美国版的方块舞为四对舞伴排成正方形，再配上手风琴、班究琴、小提琴和吉他所演奏的音乐。美国版的方块舞新增了一个舞步指挥 (caller) ；您认为舞步指挥要做什么？

When early colonial settlers came to America, they brought many forms of dance to their new home. Square dancing, one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing, evolved from several different Old World group dances, mainly the English country, or contra, dance and the French quadrille.

In the American version of square dancing, four couples form a square and dance to music from an accordion, banjo, fiddle, and guitar. An American addition to square dancing is the caller. What do you think a caller does?
