The individual calls or figures are the main components of square dance, just as are the formations: Any figure starts with some formation, and in some (generally different) formation it will end.
Aiming for the figures of the mainstream level? Generally (as with us) it will be schooled together with the basic level in a single class.
Note: Informations being contained within the followings are standardized by the CALLERLAB. (From there the always up-to-date definitions list document can be downloaded in PDF form.) Nevertheless those are contained accessably at several places, even within the web, (cf. e.g. the resources mentioned at links).
