[Callers] NEFFA 75th Choreography Contest Dances
Here are the entries for the NEFFA 75th Contra Contest. Thanks again to all of you who submitted dances. The dances are presented as written, mostly unedited. They are grouped by author in order of submission, with the exception of the winning dance, which is at the top. I do have all of this in a Word doc., so feel free to write me off list for a copy as it may be easier to read. And a big thank you to Bob Isaacs for being a co-judge, as well as caller of the winning dance at Neffa this past weekend. We had a blast working on this together. Lisa Greenleaf --- What Bob Isaacs and I said to announce the winner: The winner is Diamonds Are For Neffa, written by Chris Page. The judges feel that his dance has good flow, is suitable for the NEFFA audience, and includes very NEFFA-appropriate inter-set allemandes and a celebratory diamond. Even the title is clever. We thank Chris for this wonderful contribution to the NEFFA tradition. Congratulations! Diamonds Are For NEFFA Chris Page Improper A1 Shift left to new neighbors Circle left ¾; Neighbor swing A2 Long lines forward and back; Hands-across star right 7/8 (until Ladies are in the center of a diamond, Gents are on the outside). B1 Ladies (next Lady from the next star) allemande left 1; Hands-across star right 3/4 (with original foursome); Gents (with previous Gent from the next star) allemande left 1 B2 Gents (in center of set, facing partner) walk forward to partner on side Partner R Shoulder Round Partner swing This is the base version of the dance. However, when there's multiple lines and skilled dancers, point out that inactive dancers during the B1 can allemande left once with a dancer from an adjacent contra line. If this is done, at the top of the A1, it's likely that your current neighbors will be on the slight left diagonal, so you'll need to take an extra step to the left to make sure you get to new neighbors. (as for the title, diamonds are 60th anniversary, but sometimes they are 75th anniversary as well) Here's the one-line test video (times 14 through 17 of the dance, so things had smoothed out): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhrxUuVfRCY --- Diamond Jubilee Becket (reverse progression) Jim Hemphill A1 Balance in a ring and spin to a diamond (ladies in center facing up & down, gents facing across) Balance the ring and petronella, gents form a long wave in the center A2 Balance the wave, turn by the right half way Swing a new neighbor B1 Slice on the left diagonal (to meet your partner), push straight back Ladies allemande right 1 1/2 B2 Partner balance and swing Notes: In A1 the 1st spin covers half the distance of a regular petronella.

Besides fame and glory, the winner will also be awarded a Neffa T shirt. We are looking for a contra dance with good story line and flow, and would prefer to have a mostly equal-action dance with good movement for everyone, although we will entertain submissions that favor the ones, or that alternate between the ones and twos. Contra Choreography Parameters: -The title must reflect Neffa somehow, and perhaps the 75th -32 bars long -Contra formation -Intermediate skill level: commonly-used figures, moderate piece count, and nothing too complicated out of the minor set -Good flow -Limit three submissions per person -Deadline is Feb 15, 2019 -Do not need to be at the Festival to win Send your clearly worded and annotated-as-necessary submissions to Lisa Greenleaf at neffacon...@yahoo.com (or you can reply to this email; just don’t hit reply all).

[Callers] NEFFA Dance ID
Can any of you help me identify a dance that we danced during the last NEFFA session on Sunday? The dance in question was called with the Festival Orchestra playing and it may have been called by Sue Rosen. The key figures were 2 "past through to an ocean wave" figures. In one case you end with your neighbor in your right hand, and the other time you end with your partner in the same place. The dance flowed very smoothly and i liked it a lot, so any help with the title, author, or the choreography would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rich Hart.

Re: [Callers] NEFFA!
In years past, there has been an unofficial spot in the bleachers of the main hall. In Natick, it was the bleachers to the left of the stage when you were facing them. I'll print out a tasteful SharedWeight sign and tape it to the wall in the High School dance hall as a gathering point in the bleachers. Maybe people can write something on their nametags so we can know each other? (SW?) Otherwise, just introduce yourselves!

[Callers] Neffa workshop
I've been asked to let folks know that I'll be repeating my contra tune discussion/workshop at Neffa, but this time it will be geared towards musicians. I'll also be joined by Jaige Trudel and Adam Broome from Crowfoot. This is a good opportunity for callers and musicians to learn about choosing tunes for contras, and how different kinds of tunes affect dancers. I'll have pre-recorded examples, and I expect Jaige and Adam will contribute a few riffs of their own. The workshop is called "Bands and Contra Tunes" and is Sunday at 1PM in High School Room 103. See you soon at Neffa, -- Lisa

[Callers] NEFFA fun
Hi Everyone who was at NEFFA, It was very fun getting to meet many of you in person. I think it worked well to have a couple of options and different times for gatherings. Aside from the great dancing and getting to call, my favorite part about NEFFA is getting to meet and talk with other callers. It's one of the few times I get to even DANCE with caller friends -- Jeremy Korr and I had our first dance, had to go to Boston to do it, even though we are both in California! It was also an amazing experience to cheer on the other callers before and after everyone called their gigs/ spots. It was great comraderie and not often that we can all be there to support friends; as we're usually off at seperate locations, calling dances. Even the sound engineer in the Main Hall said to me on the stage while I was calling "wow, you have your own cheering section"! when my caller friends clapped, cheered and smiled from the bleachers when I "saved" my second dance... I also enjoyed how easy it was to find people. Most were either in the Main Hall, the Lower Hall, or hanging out in the cafeteria, which we did a lot of. So wonderful to just have some time to sit with each other, talk and exchange ideas, share learnings. I took a few pictures which I'll hope to post, with other's permission. But I probably won't get to that until 1 - 2 weeks. Thanks again, and hope to see at Pinewoods, for those that are going.

[Callers] NEFFA Shared Wt gatherings
Hi All, Here's two opportunities: 1. Friday evening: 9:15 - 9:45pm in the Main Hall; this leaves time to dance 1 - 2 Role Free contras... If on the dance floor, face the band, meet in bleachers to the LEFT of the stage... Then, of course, we all want to be there for the next session (10 - 11:30pm) to support Chris Weiler! 2. Saturday afternoon: 3pm - 4pm in the int'l bazaar cafeteria This means, we can attend two dances of each square session The only other opportunity I saw was: 8 - 9pm Saturday evening If anyone has any preference, or other suggestions, good meeting places - outside?, let me know, otherwise, I'll plan to be at #1 and #2 and hope to meet as many of you as possible!

Re: [Callers] NEFFA meal or gathering
I'm interested! I'll be there from Friday through Sunday, will have to miss the Thursday dance, alas, unless I decide to forego sleep which I may well do!

I am thinking to set up up a mtg time (maybe two?), that we can meet either in the cafeteria/ int'l food bazaar, or perhaps after hours? Similar to what you did at RPLW. Any interest? I'll need to take a closer look at the schedule, so much good stuff, that I'm sure we all don't want to miss. Please let me know if anyone else is interested, I will also be at the Thursday nite Springstep dance, so pls say HELLO.
