Texas Shootout
Calvin Campbell
Texas Shootout Trio was written by Bob Howell specifically for a dance he called in Texas
once a year. It’s a fun dance for a beginner party but as you will notice in the video (click
here), dancers can get confused. The dancers in this video were all dance teachers at the
Beginner Dance Party Leader’s Seminar in 2006. Some of the dancers never did get the
dance right. Frankly, it doesn’t matter as long as they have fun.
Formation: Lines of Three facing counterclockwise (CCW) around the hall.
1-8 Walk forward eight steps CCW around the hall
9-16 Right hand high, left hand low, twist around and face the
other way.
17-24 Walk forward eight steps CW around the hall.
25-32 Left hand high, right hand low, twist around and face the
Trios
other way.
33-40 Right Hand Star
41-48 Left Hand Star
49-56 Circle Left
57-64 Circle Right and pop center person thru to the next group of two.
I used a record named Real Madrid on the TNT label. This is a square dance singing call
that is no longer available. Sorry!
You can use any 64 beat singing call you like.
In the second half of the video, I show my preferred way for changing who is the center
person in the line of three.
