Re: [Callers] Favorite Dances

[Maia McCormick]

Only danced it once and never gotten to call it, but I immediately fell in
love with Chris Page's Double Cat Bounce.

Double Cat Bounce, by Chris Page (improper)
A1: (new) Neighbor balance & swing
A2: Half ricochet hey (men by left), women ricochet (over R shoulder);
partner swing
B1: Ladies chain; half ricochet hey (women by R), men ricochet (over L
shoulder)
B2: Circle right 3⁄4; neighbor allemande left 1 1/2

given that hint - I will submit Roger Diggle's Roll in the Hey (but many others 
from Roger might also qualify as candidates - and the same could be said for 
Gene Hubert - lots of great dances from the Midwest).

I did have one specific dance in mind when I started this thread.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet.
It almost always gets called at dance weekends with open calling--at least in 
the Midwest, where such weekends are popular
Of course that could be because its author is from the Midwest. (hint! hint!)
But other suggestions can still be offered.

The answer lurks in these lyrics  from Fiddler on the Roof:   "Tradition, 
tradition! Tradition!"

Hey everyone,

I'd like to return to Michael's original thread, before it is forgotten.
The idea of posting our favorite 2 or 3 dances seems like a wonderful
chance to share resources and enrich our dance communities.

Thanks,
Paul
