Hi Judy
I called a couple of contras at a square dance festival here in Australia, and
found that I needed to keep calling all the way through, as they were used to
calls being varied through the dance, so would stop dancing if I faded out the
calling. This may not be common to all codes of square dancing.

everyone,I have undertaken to teach some modern square dancers how to contra
dance, and I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this and has any dances
to recommend? I’m a square dancer myself but most of my contra repertoire is
for modern contra dancers- 2 swings, lots of Balance and swing, etc. I’d like
more dances with MWSD moves in them and possibly without any, or only 1, swing,
and they don’t need to have a partner swing. The dancers I am teaching are all
either plus or advanced, so they will tire pretty quickly of the usual simple
glossary contras I would normally do in a teaching situation. They can do the
moves; it’s the formation that is new to them. Thanks,Judy
