I started calling contras well before squares, and aside from MWSD, dance approximately 11 times more contras per year than squares. If I am calling to new dancers, it doesn't seem Like I will serve them well by calling a form I am less familiar with myself. The trap is, that with no squares series in town, I don't know how I ever will get that level of experience, either as a dancer or as a caller. So while I love squares, really and truly, and can even see that new dancers might find them more accessible, I don't know that it makes sense for me to call them at ONS gigs. Andrea
