These guidelines for dance teachers include dozens of nuggets for any dance
caller. I wish I'd seen it when I stared calling, and it's stilt a good
reminder of things for me to remember to do.

Hi Linda,
Would you please clarify the instructions for the dance below? I believe that
partners are doing the dip/dive with a shadow, but they are traveling in the
same direction up or down the set, so it is not clear to me how they find each
other again; nor how it is that they are next to
Hi Linda,
Thanks for Punxsutawney Promenade. I was puzzled with B2, but checked
other versions and realized B2 should have the pass thru be across the set.
Cheers, Bill
Actually, there are two versions of P. Promenade, both by Dan Perl. The
version linda posted had the two mixed up a bit. The first (and
original, and still the one I call) has the B2:
*B2*Circle Left 3/4
Pass Thruup and down
Turn back
same Neighbors LHS 1/2
to NEW Neighbors

Then Dan
The dance as given by Linda was contributed by Dan Pearl to Larry Jennings for
inclusion in Larry's book _Give-and-Take_, published by NEFFA in 2004. ... Bob

I'm fairly new to Calling and fascinated with Contra dance choreography.
Below is my attempt at a Groundhog day dance. The groundhog starts his
day by looking for his shadow and so does this dance.
Groundhog Daze Becket
A1 Gypsy your shadow
Partner swing
A2 Circle left 3 places
The only actual mistake in Linda's was that the pass thru is, indeed,
across the set in that version, rather than up and down.

My apologies for the typo! You are quite correct.

For me the most interesting Groundhog Day dance I went to was when the
caller (James Hutson) didn't call attention to the fact that just
about every dance had a shadow in it till we hit the one that didn't.
(Exceptions were two squares with heavy right-hand-lady/left-hand gent
interactions, and
Thanks, Jack! I thought I had a distant memory of that pass through
being up and down the setan old dance card now consigned to a
different dance collection. But I also remember the dance as being a
lot of fun with the pass through up and down.a real surprise
ending. I am sure that
Hi Jim,
I like your dance. I've not seen it before (but I don't have that large
a collection). B2b is a nice replacement for LC as it makes a nicer
transition to A1. For my dance here, with lots of older dancers who get
a bit dizzy, I would be careful with it, as it has 24 consecutive beats
