Rich, I call primarily in southern New England, and I often insert mixers, reels, and squares into Contra Dances. I seldom do this at the bigger "contra" venues, but I would feel free at most smaller venues, especially if there are lots of newbies or children. Other than Squares, I would probably never use more than one of each in any particular evening, but my experience is that many local contra dancers love singing squares. Rich Sbardella Stafford, CT
