Well, I don’t write a lot of dances, but I’ve been inspired by all the Dublin
Bay dances. In mine I’ve tried to use the figure as I recall dancing it in the
English dance of that name. Comments or corrections most welcome!

A couple of people have kindly got in touch with me to alert me to some
problems with my early morning creation. I’ll be back in touch if I can revise
it and try it out with some dancers.

Michael, if this view makes you a Luddite, sign me up as a member of the
Luddite Club. I think it's realistic to say that the members of all the
contra, English, and Square Dance groups will NEVER all agree on which
alternative terms to use for ladies and gents, so all these new terms being
I know several dance series use gender-free terms:
Jets/Rubies: Portland ME
Lead/Follow: Hampshire College, Contradelphia [defunct?]
Bands/Bare-arms: JP, Western MA
Larks/ Ravens: Circle Left, South Bay
Does anyone know of other dances that are gender free, and what terms they use?

Thanks Nick!
Since this was an email asking for data, if people would like to email
it to me offlist (jeff.t.kauf...@gmail.com) or add it to this

I use Mods and Rockers, which meets pretty much all of the various criteria
suggested for role identifiers. That's in the UK though - I'm not sure if
the word pairing is recognised across the pond.

Is this for a regular series, or one-off (ONS) dances?

Let's please not presume to speak for the feelings of marginalized groups?
Not thinking something is a problem because it doesn't affect you
personally is super privileged.
