I'm supposed to be working this morning, but there are so many contras here that I wanted to add to my collection!
I call mainly in England, usually a mixed programme, so I already have far too many contras for my needs, but these are so interesting and varied. And it's great to have some contras with just one swing. I know dancers in the States expect two swings in every dance, but in England we tend to prefer interesting choreography rather than two swings and a few allemandes or whatever just to glue them together. I have quite a different repertoire when I'm calling in the States or Canada. In "Roger's New Contra" it's worth noting that if you reach the end of the set at the end of A1 you need to face in and be ready for the diagonal ladies chain in A2. And although the hey is described as (LR, N2L, GR, PL) it's a full hey. And a note to the Administrator - the subject line should start [Contra Callers] rather than just [Callers] since we have the Traditional Dance Callers list as well.
