I second David's Triplet -- was recently posted on this list, so you should
be able to find it. Would love to see Square Line Special, though.

Donna,
Levi Jackson Rag, for 10. Becoming a local favorite when numbers permit.
One I really like is David's Triplet #5 by David Smuckler. (It has a hey
for 6, or do it w/ hands to introduce a grand R & L). Nice dance.
Another quirky one that is a hybrid contra/square is Square Line Special
Jeff's Gyre & GimbleDI
A-1 1s Gyre & Gimble (R Sh)
A-2 Down Hall Line of 4, 2s Hand Cast 1's (or trn as cpl), return
B-1 Circle L 1X (all are back to orig DI)
Pass N-1 by R and Gyre N-2 by L
B-2 N-1 Gire & Gimble (R Sh)
Notes: This dance needs room, so best to keep lines
Hi
I'm doing a workshop on dances "outside the box" (ie, no squares or contras).
Anyone have any interesting dances for contra dancers that fit the criteria?
I have Tom Hinds "Hexitation" and several triplets, a Zia and a Tempest, and
have looked through the Ralph Page weekend
This is an excellent example of what I pointed out previously ... different
uses of the same word in different contexts, where one may be considered
derogatory and another quite the opposite. Homo, as in homosexual, appears to
derive from the Greek translation meaning one in the same.

I am looking for some EASY wholeset dancers for a Civil War event that is
mostly teenage boys. Wholesets seem to be the best option, but I am open
to othe suggestions. Virginia Reel is an obvious choice.
Peace & Thanks!

I've known at least one person who sincerely thought “homo” was a perfectly
acceptable term, carrying no particular negative connotations. Whether or not
she held negative views herself, she needed to learn that she was mistaken
about the connotations, and if she didn’t want to be offensive,
I don't believe contra dancers have a negative view of the Romani becuase
of the word gypsy.

I was just looking at Luke's dance and realized there is a big problem with
gyre: it both starts and ends with a soft sound, with no hard consonants in
the middle. I can't think of a single other figure with that quality, and
believe it will become slurred in execution. Try enunciating it
Hello all,
Linda Leslie's suggestion of gyre as a replacement for gypsy bubbled around
in my brain and a new (I think) dance percolated up. It has a twist that
isn't the gyre (which I consider just new nomenclature); women casting out
of the swing to travel from one minor set to another (similar
