Seth et al, I have enjoyed contra dancing here in Atlanta since the late 80s. I have enjoyed studying Larry Jenning's great books but I don't think I would like calling as much as I enjoy dancing. I listen to contra CD's in my car frequently and have come to really enjoy the music. I have enjoyed photographing dancers in a way that can be printed as a single picture, but as 3 (or even 8) panels. My dance/life partner no longer enjoys contra so my attendance at dances has been spotty for about 8 years. Senior round-robin doubles tennis provides me with my exercise regularly now, even during much of the pandemic.
Yes, I created *Contracalls.appspot.com <http://Contracalls.appspot.com>* and a handful of other apps. I have noticed dancers who cannot hear or cannot understand the calls, and I have also noticed dancers who seem to have a hard time remembering calls, especially new dancers. So I thought maybe a partner or a friend could help by recording abbreviated calls during the walk-thrus. Another free, browser-based contra-related app of mine is *SimplifyConnections.appspot.com/?place=contraUSA <http://SimplifyConnections.appspot.com/?place=contraUSA>* . A few dance organizers have used it to show their dances on the map. (I have a couple of novel bridge related apps, too. Email me directly if you are interested.)
