Hi Bob,
Larry and Molly play it at around 108 bpm. That is not too slow for a
smooth contra. Choose something that flows smoothly like Flirtation Reel or
The Mad Gypsy (http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/TheMadGypsy.html) (use a swing
instead of the Two hand Turn).
You just need to persuade (challenge?) the dancers to use all the music
and make it flow - or play it slightly faster.
Happy dancing,
John

Subject: [Callers] The Montague Processional
Are there any dances that go with the tune "The Montague Processional”? As it’s
normally played slowly I doubt there’s a _contra_ dance per se, but maybe there
exists some other choreographed movement that’d be accessible to contra dancers?
I’m calling for the Rainbow Contra Dancer’s last dance in Montague (they’re
moving venues to Northampton), so I thought the tune would be a nice tribute to
their 10 years there.
