Re: [Callers] Name of a dance

David, Looking at the video after reading your note, it suddenly appears obvious that you are correct! Thanks very much for picking up on that. I know that many, or probably most, dances can be called either as beckets or improper. Is there something in particular in this dance that would make

Re: [Callers] Dances for 3-6 couples - add'l note

Will, Here is a dance that I have called a few times, and I like it because it is a little different. It is phrased, although the timing becomes a little more critical with four couples. I hope it is something you can use. Richard Green T.A.G. by Roger Whynot Proper Lines of 3 or 4 couples A1

I would like to find a couple of fairly easy but interesting contradances with petronella spins in them somewhere. I am going to call for an unknown mixed dance this weekend and would like to use this figure somewhere in the program. I have used "Maliza's Magical Mystery Motion" before but it see

Greetings to all of you! My name is Richard Green and I have decided to come out of the lurking closet and announce my intention of learning how to call. I discovered this wonderful discussion list about a month ago and avidly read through the multiple years of postings. Now, alas, I am up to
