All8.com: A useful website for those interested in calling.
Lynette Bellini's website: A useful site for Challenge dancing.
Taminations: Call animations which cover the levels from Mainstream to C3B. Also includes a number of square games, so you can see (for example) how the C1 call "In your Blocks, Square Thru" works when dancing hex. (Click the settings button on the bottom, and the "Hexagon" setting is under Special Geometry.) It also has a Sequencer that can animate a sequence of calls.
Bill Ackerman's C4 Calls, Concepts, and Notions: A useful book for high challenge dancers by a long-time Tech Squares member. Part 1 covers calls, part 2 covers concepts, and part 3 covers "notions" (everything else!). Although Bill is responsible for introducing hundreds of new dancers to square dancing, this is definitely not for the faint-hearted!
Bill Ackerman's Unusual Coordinates: A guide to some unusual formations for doing Coordinate.
