[Callers] Re: Help with Naming and Attributing dances

[Robert Golder via Contra Callers]

A welcome consequence of Robert Fabinski’s inquiry was an email that I received 
this morning from David Smukler, reminding me of the dual history of the 
"unknown” triplet on Robert’s list. It is “Corner Triplet,” written by the late 
Linda Leslie, to whom I was married for many years. But the dance is also 
“David’s Triplet 1.5,” as it was independently written by David Smukler. I 
remember Linda and David talking together, years ago (at the Ralph Page Dance 
Legacy Weekend, I believe), about how each of them separately devised the 
dance. I’m not surprised that two skilled and thoughtful dance choreographers 
dreamed up the same dance. This triplet is simple, elegant, enjoyable, and 
serves as a superb tool for teaching the once-familiar “contra corners” figure. 
When I call this dance, I give it both titles, and credit both authors. …
