Re: [Callers] Ladies

I had a chance to use Larks and Ravens when I called for the Brooklyn contra this summer. I really liked it, better than any of the others I've tried, and got multiple positive comments too. That said, I pulled it off by making a new set of cards (on my iPad) so that I had the correct terms in

Hi Angela, Looking forward to hearing about your personal experiences as a caller and dance organizer with these new terms. On Sun, Oct 15, 2017 at 1:33 PM, Mary Collins via Callers < callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > Angela, ahI see said the blind person. Now it makes sense. Will not

Angela, ahI see said the blind person. Now it makes sense. Will not work in my home ultra conservative community and I will certainly need to practice replacing. It will be interesting to say the least. Thanks again! On Oct 15, 2017 12:21 AM, "Angela DeCarlis" wrote: >

Re: [Callers] Ladies

Hi Mary! A lot has already been written on the subject elsewhere, but the summary of why Larks and Ravens has become a great set of terms is that they correlate to the (L)eft and (R)ight positions at the end of a swing. The syllable count is the same when compared to Gent and Lady (or Man and

Re: [Callers] Ladies

Ahem Tom...that would be "gender" lolSeriously, being of the more mature (and I use that term loosely) set, I find all these new names for ROLES to be troublesome and tiresome. Who exactly is a Lark & who exactly are Ravens? Because quite frankly I have mental pictures of bothfrom

Thanks Angela. If only we could easily change our gender so we could understand what it's like to be the other sex. On Oct 14, 2017, at 11:32 AM, Angela DeCarlis wrote: Tom, I had this conversation with Sue Rosen this summer. Women who belong to the original Feminist generation (like

Tom, I had this conversation with Sue Rosen this summer. Women who belong to the original Feminist generation (like Sue and, presumably, like Mary and Martha above) were involved in a cultural movement to abolish the word "Lady", along with its restrictive connotations, in favor of "Woman". The

Martha, I dont recall this dance of which you speak. Could you share the true title and calls? Thanks! I also cringe over ladies (I don't fit that tradition) yet it is a good "place holder, ROLE identifer" for my communities. On Oct 14, 2017 9:06 AM, "Tom Hinds via Callers" <

Hi All, Ladies' Chain to Allemande Left is actually the original version of the Ladies' Chain! I believe that the Courtesy Turn was added sometime late in the 19th century, or maybe in the first half of the 20th century. Prior to that the "Chaine des Dames" was always danced as
