I’ve never experienced a contra dance
done as a Sicilian Circle, so it may not be what you want for your
crowd.
I've never heard of an English dance written for Beaumont Rag. What dance is
that?

Begin forward

in the B, I think, and Beaumont needs it in the A. The B is where the
more connected-y stuff is, where you want the swings.

I’ve never experienced a contra dance The band has chosen to play for a
dance work. It doesn’t work for the dancers and it’s agonizing for the caller.
Can anyone suggest a dance that could fit?
Awesome! What a project. We thank you!

Thanks Louise. Notes are good, we can always ask you questions and share

Would you consider recording the workshops?
