What's New
This update refreshes the Mainstream call definitions and tidies up animations to stay in sync with the current program structure, plus fixes a handful of level assignments in the Sequencer.
Version 1.6.112 · · 36.3 MBLatest
The Mainstream calls have been updated with the latest definitions, and animations have been rearranged to match the programs you're learning. The Sequencer also got a patch to show the right level for some calls that were flagged incorrectly.
Version 1.6.109 · · 34.7 MB
Square dancers benefit from clearer animations for foundational and advanced calls. The Zig Zag overhaul and fixes to Reverse Wheel Around's Basic-2 placement help callers and dancers see exactly what each call should look like at the right level.

Taminations is a reference app for square dancers built around animations of over 500 calls, from Mainstream through C-3B levels. Running Taminations on PC puts a full dictionary of call definitions and choreography sequences on a desktop where it runs it open while planning lessons, reviewing material between sessions, or teaching from a larger display. The app works offline and covers the complete Callerlab library, leaving it a core tool for dancers at any experience level who want to study formations and progressions without leaving their workspace.
Taminations brings square-dance instruction on your PC as a standalone reference that complements your existing workflow. If you're preparing class material, reviewing technique, or drilling specific patterns, the app's animation library and call definitions sit ready on your desktop without requiring an internet connection. Installing Taminations for Windows PC gives you persistent access to this resource across multiple work sessions.
Core Features of Taminations
The app organizes its substance around these core capabilities:
- Browse over 2500 animations representing more than 500 distinct calls, each showing the formation and flow step-by-step
- Search the complete Callerlab definitions for any call across all levels
- Filter animations by dancer level, from Mainstream through C-3B, to match your teaching or study focus
- Access full functionality offline without requiring an active network connection
- Use the sequencer to build custom call combinations and visualize how they flow together
Studying on Your Desktop
On a computer, Taminations for computer use shifts from a quick-reference tool into a session workstation. You can open it alongside a text editor for your lesson plans, a calendar for scheduling, or video-call windows for remote teaching. Keyboard navigation and a standard mouse make browsing the animation library and call definitions faster than mobile touch input. The larger screen reveals the spatial detail in formations more clearly, and you can leave the app running between classes without battery drain.
Understanding Calls and Formations
Every call in Taminations includes both an animation and a written definition. The animation shows how dancers move from their starting positions through each step, while the definition explains the call's mechanics and any specific rules. This dual-reference approach helps dancers understand not just the motion but the reasoning behind it. Newer dancers benefit from seeing formations in motion; experienced dancers use the definitions to verify edge cases or less common variations. Dancers at all levels find that visual reinforcement during or after class accelerates retention and confidence.
Organizing Your Call Study
Taminations lets you build and test call sequences using the sequencer tool, though some versions or configurations may have limits on this feature. The app is built to help you structure how you approach learning, whether that means grouping calls by difficulty, building a progression for a specific class session, or isolating a pattern you want to drill. On a PC, this organizational workflow sits comfortably within a broader preparation routine where you might also be reviewing written notes or choreography documents.
