My parents square danced for 45 years and hearing this brings back so many memories. Thank-you ❤
He was definitely THE BEST...both at teaching AND as a caller. If you could not learn from...and dance to the calling of... Joe Casey, you could not learn from or dance to the calling of ANYONE! He was THAT good! He always made it a fun evening, whether there were ten squares or just one.
His white hair, his voice, his gentleman attitude.... My guess is that his car was a Lincoln.
or an grand marquis
its great when you excel at your passion and can make people happy around you
Joe was a kind, loving gentleman who always treated me wonderfully. When calling with live music at a New England Convention, Joe and Dick Leger were backups and it was a thrill of my life I will never forget.
Goodness knows how m'y family and I enjoyed dancing Joe at thé North Country Squares
GREAT Calling
Wow
This is something I would never have watched as a kid... OMG, what does that mean now? 😮
Fun to see the man burning up on bars but the dancers just chillin..

Is this a rehearsal for the show? Do see do
are there any nore videos of joe, i love him
That was funny at about 2.30 when the camera goes to the dancers.. i thought thay would be flying around. But then, I dont square dance
Paul Nicholls Lol they usually are, but this looks like an older crowd so maybe they’re not up to it
LOL, I saw the phrase "square dance caller" on this video: czcams.com/video/ipKp824VsyA/video.html but I had no idea what a "square dance caller", was until I saw your video, thank you!
1:30
Anybody knows what the music is that.Joe is using here?
Does this qualify as rap?
Well I have no idea what he was saying but sounds like it would be quite fun once you learn how to do this. I don't think this is done much if at all anymore? Maybe at a senior citizens center or something...I'm going to check around town where I live and see if I can find anyone that still square dances, I'd love to learn. We had something like it in grade school but I don't remember any of it and none of the calling was anything close to what Joe was doing, I assume probably due to being kids they changed the calls to make it easier for kids to learn, or maybe there are different types of square dancing?

It is great but would be better if he moved to the music
