Hey folks, After a number of relatively quiet caller years (parenting; pandemic), I've started to dig deep to expand my repertoire and up my skills. It feels like it's time for lots more dance fun! :)
One dance that I've really enjoyed is Heartbeat Contra (by Don Flaherty - see below). Tom Calwell called it in Ottawa way back in 2010 and at the top of the B1, he called Al R 1.5 or ANYTHING (R shoulder round, swing, DSD). *Do any of you throw in a 'do anything' moment in an evening of contra programming?* I'm always looking for fun, playful moments that make dancers smile and this feels like a lovely one. If you throw in an anything moment, how do you choose when? *And do you have other strategies for adding playfulness to an evening?* I've got some dances which I find super playful and fun (e.g., Three's Company - Altered & Alternating - Paul Balliet) Thoughts on this? Thanks!
