Re: [Callers] If You Can Walk...

I wrote a couple different ones, playing with that title. They're all similar, and mostly designed to go after my beginner walk through (which teaches the progression with balance the ring -> pass through) It's highly probable that other folks have also used riffs on that title, and that these

[Callers] If You Can Walk...

I am looking for a contra dance titled, "If You Can Walk, You can Dance", or maybe, "If you Can Dance, You Can Walk". Would someone please share it, or a link. Thanks, Rich

Re: [Callers] How do you organize your Dance Card Boxes ? Categories or Other Suggestions ?

As you know, contra dancers on this side of the pond have little or no patience for dances without at least a partner swing. In fact I hear complaints if there are too many dances in an evening that don't also include a neighbor swing. Dances like Illegal in Most States, with a neighbor,
