Hello all!

I'm calling a delightful small-town dance here in Melrose, Florida this 
Friday...which is Friday the 13th, and also a full moon.

I love using theme opportunities to collect new dances! Anyone have any ideas?

Off the top of my head, I'll probably need to look into Mirror Mirror (Jim 
Kitch, I believe) and Cats and More Cats (Melanie Axel-Lute). I wonder if I 
could convince the band to play Stevie Wonder? 

Thanks!

MWSD offers one option, probably not a term to use  in a contra setting.

Arky Star Thru is a position dependent (rather than dance role dependent  
version):
From Facing Couples.
Beaus do the Boys part, and Belles do the Girls part of a Star Thru.
(Everybody uses the inside hand)
Ends in Facing Couples.  
https://www.ceder.net/oldcalls/viewsingle.php?RecordId=155

This is not exactly what you asked for, which is to use the OTHER HAND than 
typical of your role, but independent of your position.

Left Star Thru (edited slightly)
From a boy facing a girl: boy holds left hand up and girl places her right palm 
against it. boy steps forward and does a quarter left as the girl passes the 
boy left shoulders under the raised arms and does a quarter right. Finishes as 
a couple.
https://www.ceder.net/oldcalls/viewsingle.php?RecordId=3616


Note that Bob Isaacs uses "Jersey Twirl" for a wrong-side California Twirl with 
the Lark going under.

Note that California Twirl (and Jersey Twirl) are 180˚ turns, while Star Thru 
and Arky Star Thru are 90˚ turns.

Technically, I believe the hands for a CA Twirl and Star Thru are the same -

Isn't #1 just a California Twirl (unless we want to debate whether it can only 
be a Cali Twirl if we're using those hands AND they're our outside hands)?

For #2 I'd say there isn't much of a difference aside from suggesting a path on 
the floor to the dancers. LD circle left might feel more crowded as a result.

[Callers] Transgressions

[Tepfer, Seth via Callers]

When a couple moves up and down the lines, we call that 'progression'.
When a couple moves ACROSS the lines, I call that 'transgression'. Not counting 
four face fours (aka mescolanzas, double countras) I know of three dances that 
'transgress' in some form or another:

  *   Out of Bounds*, Will Mentor
  *   Becket's Crossing, Chris Kermiet
  *   New and Improved, Super Ultra Snake Oil #9* (seth's riff from) Roger 
Diggle

What others are out there?
Seth

*Technically these are 'minor' transgressions since they only go over to the 
other line and then come back. Still, they are 'crossing the line'!

Re: [Callers] Multiple partner swings?

[Tepfer, Seth via Callers]

Title: Pam and Lalah and Bruce and Seth's Reel, or more simply,
ContraQuad

Formation: duple minor, double progression Becket
Author: Seth Tepfer
Composed: 11/23/2002
A1: (4) In a ring Balance, (4) Petronella Twirl; (8) Neighbor Swing
A2: (4) In a ring Balance, (4) Petronella Twirl; (8) Partner Swing
B1: (8) on the left diagonal, right and left through (or, for a zestier dance, 
ladies start 1/2 hey for four passing right shoulder); (8) Across set (with new 
couple) ladies start right shoulder 1/2 hey for four
B2: (4) Balance Partner; (12) Swing Partner
Notes:  Two partner swings. Going from a petronella twirl into a swing is very 
smooth, if you do not stop to double clap.

In B1, when using the zesty variation and transitioning from one hey to next, 
pass left shoulder with partner (at practically the same time that women are 
passing right shoulders). When out, don't go anywhere, a couple will be there 
momentarily to hey across the set with you.

This is a variant of the dance by ?Ted Hodapp? "Rick and Sara's Reel" which is 
a variant of another dance with a title in the form of "somebody and somebody's 
Reel".

See also Franklin flank by nils Fredland for similar (allenandes to star to

As is said, half stars are devilishly tricky.

Perhaps someone has fabulous teaching tips with half stars?

I have an English dance that has a similar sequence, with one half star, then a

the timing. I set the dance to a half-length version of Larry Unger's Two 
Rivers which is in waltz time, so the timing could be different in contra. I 
think the hands-across style star used in most English dances facilitates that 
kind of transition. I think it creates the nice flow pattern you envision, 
looking forward to trying it. Nice idea, Luke!

Re: [Callers] Calling at Free Folk Festival

[Tepfer, Seth via Callers]

My suggestion in situations like this is to not do contras. Or, at the hardest, 
do Sherry Nevin's "Family Contra"*.


When you do not have support of experienced dancers, certain learned behaviors 
(leave lady on right, cross over at top and bottom, concept of progression) are 
very challenging. I speak from experience; having a program of mostly contras - 
even easy ones - ends up being frustrating for the caller and the new dancers.


I strongly recommend an evening of Barn Dances such as Galopede, Patty Cake 
Polka, La Bastrange, Monkey in the Middle, and the like.

1) the walk thrus are short

2) everyone will end up being successful

3) people are moving to music, you are calling - they will have no idea it is 
not 'contra dancing'


Here is a link to a Dancing for Non 
Dancers
 handout that is woefully out of date but still useful.


Also, look at Thomas Green Barn Dance  website; an 
fabulous resource.



Title: Family Contra

Author: Sherry Nevins

Formation: duple minor, proper or improper, doesn't matter

A1: Balance 2x, Circle Left

A2: Balance 2x, Circle Right

B1: Neighbor DSD; Partner DSD

B2: As couple DSD once and a half to progress

Subject: [Callers] Calling at Free Folk Festival

Hi everyone.
I’m looking for advice.  I’m calling a FFF next Sat and live in SF Bay Area, 
where the average person has never heard of contra dance.  I got advice from 
Alan Winston, who called the contra dance a couple years ago when it was a 2 
day event and the contra was Sunday evening.  Now it’s a 1 day festival and the 
contra is Sat 630-10pm.The other dance that evening is Blues/Fusion, which 
I expect will have a HUGE crowd.   There is also a contra dance about 30 
minutes South of the venue and a waltz evening 30 minutes East, so I’m not 
confident that a bunch of experienced contra dancers will show up. I’m sure 
some will, as many are also musicians who will be volunteering that day.

I have several very easy contras  (low piece count, connected, easy single 
progression, stays in minor set, etc) and plan to slip in brief reminders 
during each walk through (since new dancers can join at any time in the 3.5 
hours).  I’m sharing the contra calling with one person, and there is a caller 
for a couple squares, and a caller of 3/4 time contras.  I don’t know how the 
eve will be broken down yet, but I’m likely to call 2-3 contras in each half.

It’s in a high school gym, so I know to keep calls short and clear due to 
acoustics.
I’m wondering about offering a 20 minute lesson before the dance???

Thanks for any advice about free folk festivals (assuming there won’t be a lot 
of experienced dancer ringers).  I’m just back from FolkLife and NEFFA and they 
are full of experienced contra dancers……

Re: [Callers] Role Scramblers dances with balances

Author:Seth Tepfer

A1:(8) long lines, forward & back; (8) w/partner, allemande left as much as you 
want* those in center take right hands.
A2:(4) balance the ocean wave (4) walk forward to next ocean wave; (4) balance 
(4) centers allemande right to trail buddy (neighbor)
B1:(8) swing shadow; (8) right and left through on left diagonal
B2:(8) 1/2 hey across set, those on the right (who were originally in the 
middle, 'women') start by passing right shoulders (8) swing partner
Note: B1: Ending swing in the middle phrase, a forgotten dance skill, needs 
extra prompting.
Note 2: Four potential 'shadows' (your shadow, your partner's shadow, and each 
of your shadow's partners)
Note 3: Warning to ends: watch out - you come in at 2nd balance or R *for 
first time, allemande until gents are in center.
A revised version of Tom Hinds "Any Kind of Settlement" which was from Tony 
Saletan's "Amicable Settlement." I wanted to mix the randomness of 'allemande 
as much as you want' with the 'walk to next ocean wave'. Also named after the 
fact that it was written right after I started 'settling in' to Tallahassee, 
having just moved there.

I teach this dance having the women go in the middle first, then 2nd walk thru 
have the men go in the middle, but explain the people in the middle are playing 
the women's role (as far as the R thru, the Ladies Chain, the shadow swing). 
Conversely, the ones on the outside are playing the men's role.

the other role (such as Jeff Spero's "Equal Opportunity," which has the ones

I rarely call a contra at a One Night Party Dance, but occasionally I am asked 
to.  I have a few in my cards, but can anyone make some sure fire 
recommendations.

Assume 95%-100% non dancers.

Thanks, Rich

Re: [Callers] does this dance already exist?

[Tepfer, Seth via Callers]

Thanks! Somewhere in the far recesses of my brain a bell was going off that the 
title had been used before.

[Callers] does this dance already exist?

[Tepfer, Seth via Callers]

Does this dance already exist? I made it up on the spot, but I'd be shocked if 
it didn't already exist. If no one claims it, I'm calling it last minute 
contra, unless there is already a dance by that name.

duple minor, improper:
A1: (8) Circle Left; (8) Left hand Star 
A2: (8) Partner DSD; (8) Neighbor DSD
B1: (16) Neighbor balance and swing
B2: (8) Long lines; (8)1s swing
