Re: [Callers] Callers with higher degrees

Hi Tina, I took an informal survay, years back, of the contra dance community in general. I found that for the most part dancers, musicians, and I assume callers are very well educated/ professionals but are quite modest on such subjects. Original Message: - From: Tina Field

Re: [Callers] Shadow swings

Give the dancers credit. They will adjust to the dance as needed. I recall, years ago, there was a couple who really did not care for each other and they were caught in the dreaded shadow swing. Instead of making a fuss thay turned the swing into a 'Lady Walpole' and did a DSD in it's place. T
