Re: [Callers] Two new dances (and two more dances)

Hi, Jacqui,
I looked through some of my collection, and found that your dance “Starlet” is 
the same as a dance by Melanie Axel-Lute, which she calls Show of Hands I. I am 
not sure when she wrote it, but I first called it in 2012.
Line Up the Square is very similar to a dance by Bill Baritompa called Snow in 
July. The only small difference is that Bill’s dance has a Give & Take (no ring 
balance) for the A2. I first called this dance in 2012.

I don’t find any dances that are the same as A Stroll in the Hey or Zag It 
Back. They look like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing…
Linda

[Callers] Two new dances (and two more dances)

[QuiAnn2 via Callers]

Hi, I’ve recently written two dances. Both have been tested and called at 
regular contra dances (one in England, one in California!) to positive feedback 
from the dancers. I’m running it by the caller’s gauntlet to see if anyone 
knows if these dances have already been written. Please let me know if you’ve 
seen them before. Thanks! I’m also adding a couple of other simple dances that 
I wrote specifically to introduce a some figures in an easy way when I have 
many beginners. They aren’t fancy dances and I don’t usually announce the names 
of these dances but since I include my programs in my website, I thought I 
should probably give correct attribution if the dance has already been written. 
Thanks for any help!
