Regardless of the age of the dance, I try hard to mix my evening program
with each role doing different things.

Best,
Ron Blechner

[Callers] Fwd: dance caller desperately needed, please! - Vermont, Oct 8

2016-09-19 Thread Ron Blechner via Callers 
Forwarding with permission, since I am unavailable that weekend - any
caller available and interested in southwest VT dance - sounds like a barn
dance, family-friendly, etc - can reach out directly to Cynthia Larson,
email included below.

Subject: dance caller desperately needed, please!

... our annual family-style contra/ square dance on Sat, Oct 8. We have 2
musicians, but could flex if you have your own. Our usual caller is out of
town that day! We roast a steer, make cider, and have a charity auction
that day on the farm. Please let me know if this is possible, and if not,
please give me ideas! We pay our musicians. We usually dance from 7-10.

Rich,
I avoid many of the pit falls by not calling an "all modern" program
(though I do not know to what venue, dance crowd you call for.)
I like to mix in older unequal dances, Proper, Chestnuts, Classics
Shadracks Delight
Chorus Jig
Nantucket Sleighride
Becket Reel
to name a few.
(Lately I have become bored with dances that feel the same,
Partner swing, Neighbor Swing, Chain, Hay)
Check out some of the older tried and trues, You may be surprised!
