[Callers] Transgressions

When a couple moves up and down the lines, we call that 'progression'. When a couple moves ACROSS the lines, I call that 'transgression'. Not counting four face fours (aka mescolanzas, double countras) I know of three dances that 'transgress' in some form or another: * Out of Bounds*, Will

Re: [Callers] Star 1/2 -> Star 1/2?

See also Franklin flank by nils Fredland for similar (allenandes to star to Allemande, similar feel) and Carol Ormand’s Double Dare. As is said, half stars are devilishly tricky. Perhaps someone has fabulous teaching tips with half stars? Sent from my iPhone On Apr 22, 2018, at 10:13 AM, Bob

Re: [Callers] Looking for "fun" dances

Re: [Callers] Calling at Free Folk Festival

My suggestion in situations like this is to not do contras. Or, at the hardest, do Sherry Nevin's "Family Contra"*. When you do not have support of experienced dancers, certain learned behaviors (leave lady on right, cross over at top and bottom, concept of progression) are very challenging.

[Callers] does this dance already exist?

Does this dance already exist? I made it up on the spot, but I'd be shocked if it didn't already exist. If no one claims it, I'm calling it last minute contra, unless there is already a dance by that name. duple minor, improper: A1: (8) Circle Left; (8) Left hand Star A2: (8) Partner DSD; (8)
