Jack asked about the two Ted Sannella dances shown here: > The Dare to be Square 2009 Archive is on the air! Go to > http://vimeo.com/ and find the search box, click on "channels" and > enter "dtbs". Have a look around.
Both of these dances appear in print in Ted Sannella's book "Swing the Next." The first one is "Pass Through and So-si-do," for which Ted suggests the tune Ronde de Voyageur. The second one is "Gents Three-Quarter Star," for which Ted suggests the tune Brenda Stubbert's Reel, written by Jerry Holland. For callers on this list who do not already own copies, I highly recommend Ted's book and his earlier one, "Balance and Swing." In addition to presenting lots of material (contras, squares, triplets) written by Ted as well as by others, the books offer excellent tips on how to present each dance, suggested wording of calls, notes on challenging transitions... in short, a master class on how to present each dance. Both books are available online from CDSS: http://www.cdss.org/north-american-dance.html?order_by=&per_page=20&filters=form at&format=bk&for=sannella&search= David Millstone Lebanon, NH
