Here is another CC dance from Linda Leslie. *Friendly Sandwich Corners* A1 Full CL, Mirror (R/L) Shoulder Round A2 Actives Down the Center, T/Cpls Return & Cast around One B1 Turn Contra Corners B2 Actives Only B&S
Sandwich is a town on the cape where Linda Leslie and Amy Larkin organized a monthly contra dance. When I began calling contras, I showed up there one night and Linda allowed me to call a few dances. The dance was indeed friendly. Peace, Rich Stafford, CT On Thu, Jul 11, 2019 at 12:15 PM Bill Olson via Callers < [email protected]> wrote: > yep.
