Squares tend to be a bit faster than contras, but it really depends on the square. If you have a 32 bar square, then any lively contra music should be enough for you to practice to. It also need to have a very good downbeat drive; syncopated tunes aren't great for calling squares. There's also the question of patter. If you want to build excitement by inserting patter in a square, that takes practice. Again, it's just a matter of picking motivating music and getting into a rhythm. Lisa
