Circles, square sets and contradance - you need to take hands. It's what it
is.
Easy on the "call out" culture.

To each his own. It is not for everyone.
However, putting down others’ ideas and calling names is not part of dealing
with the changes our dance community is going through.
Again I am asking for on topic replies about what distanced choreo might look
like? Feel free to just delete this email.

The idea of having distance contra dancing is pure insanity as contra dancing
is a 100 % social activity

Hello Callers !
Wondering if anyone has written some “contra” dances that maintain 6 feet
distance?
I’m imagining trying (narrow)pool noodles to use as spacers (outdoors). Maybe
cut to 3 foot lengths with magnets at the ends to clack & connect to the next
noodle.
I know someone doing Intl Folk with ribbons and they were shared by accident,
and are obviously too flexible to help keep distance.
I can also see it being more like solo dancing with “contra” moves in HUGE
figures (more aerobic?) or maybe something totally different?
If you’d like to chat about choreo ideas for distanced outdoor (masks, gloves,
etc) “contra” dances, please email me.
I believe there will be intermediate stages of coming back to dance and we can
try when County and State Health limitations allow (Mine just opened up for out
door gatherings last week).
(I’m very aware of the issues, the research about covid, and our State and
County Health regulations.) I’m looking for conversation about what coming back
to dancing might look like, and choreography to support this that is fun.
Thanks for your on-topic replies.
Best,
Claire Takemori (CA)
