Hello, Some friends have asked me to call some contra dances at their wedding. There will be lots of dancers in the crowd, but not everyone will be familiar with contra.
I've put together a schedule for my portion of the evening, two contra sets bracketing the cake cutting and some international folk dance and Klesmer (I'm only responsible for the contra). I'm planning on ~ 5 minutes to find partners and teach dances, and running the dances for ~10 minutes. The exception being the circle mixer after the snowball waltz, where folks keep there last waltz parter and move into a circle and teach the circle mixer quickly (~2 minutes) to keep people on the dance floor. The program is available as a google document at *http://tinyurl.com/mqlwa6. *I'd appreciate any feedback folks want to share, and would request comments to me off-list to avoid clogging inboxes. (I'll add know that Star Trek was specifically requested by the bride.) Thanks! -- Luke Donev http://www.lukedonev.com [email protected]
