[Callers] Folk Festival - Easy Contra dances to teach Beginners

[Lorraine Sutton via Callers]

Hello All,

I am calling a 2 hour Intro to Contra dance at an Ontario Canada
Festival. ( more a music focus than a dance focus, at this festival)

I would appreciate hearing from you as to contra dances ( lws proper
& Improper) that you have found successful with very novice dancers and why
you think those dances work for beginners.(I love Larry Jennings definition
of easy vs complicated )

I do plan on doing some non progressive lws as well as a both a circle and
a Sicilian  circle in the program mix , to get the concept of progression.

Thanks so much.

[Callers] Under the Birches ECD Tune.......Is there a dance written for it?

[Lorraine Sutton via Callers]

Hi,

I am preparing my program for my ECD group this Fall,  Lord Greys ECD in
southern Ontario.

I was listening to Vol. #14 of CDSS ECD and loved The Waltz  by Earl
Gaddis  Under the Birches.

Wondering if a dance has been written for this gorgeous music.

Thanks for any help with this
