Hi callers, have you any dances for evenings when only a few folks show up,
say 10 or 12 or under, other than squares.

Moderators,
I propose that Greg not be allowed to post here for perhaps a month. I do
not take such a step lightly and rather than suppressing free speech, this

about a
ladies allemande right about 1 1/2 to a next neighbor allemande left and
then starting the dance again with a balance by the right with that

How long do you run a modern dance where ones and twos are doing the same
thing - if the lines are long.

I was walking Bill Olson's "The Hussy Bride" with my wife when she said it
would be better if, after the the "Long Lines Forward and Back" in the A1,
the ladies did an allemande left, not an allemande right as written. They
are on their way to a long wavy line with their partner in their left,
with, especially when she was the next neighbor lady. Have you had similar
experiences with this dance? What did you do about it?

Hi all,
What are your favorite high-energy dances, especially those with lots of
balances and without heys? My search of my books has yeilded very few.

Jig, by Tom Hinds, in which the men swing men or the women swing women. At
one dance a while ago all four dancers, both men and both women, formed a
basket. I liked that so much I have called it that way since. The feeling
of everyone enjoying everyone else was grand.

It would be wonderful if you can post all of them to the list.

Thanks. That is how I had it too. I have seen several videos online with
"reputable" callers (I do not remember who at the moment) and they were
doing the Forward and Back first and then the ladies chain. Do you think
that going from a neighbor swing to a ladies chain is awkward? Cannot

If there are really 2 versions, what are the advantages or disadvantages of
