Erik Hoffman used to call traveling squares that I always thought worked very well.(*) He picked dances with main figures that were easy to teach, high energy, and that quickly built up to include the entire set. He'd offset the predictable main figure with hash-style breaks. As with pretty much everything else, a good caller makes all the difference.... -Grant- (*)Erik may well still be calling those sorts of traveling squares. I just don't live close enough to hear him call anymore. *sad face* -- Grant Goodyear web: http://www.grantgoodyear.org e-mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list [email protected] http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
