Home from calling, and post dance stuff.
It was a good first-Contra-dance-of-the-new-year with all that entails.
I was sitting here, kindly thinking, "Okay, all/most acronyms may be
worked out in the context of their use." So, it finally came to me.
"Up here" NWT is North West Territories, so
My goto no-walkthrough contra is Frederick('s) Contra by Tom Hinds
(it's in Give and Take).
Formation: Contra, duple improper
A1- Men do-si-do; ladies allemande left 1½
A2- Partner balance and swing
B1- Down the hall 4-in-line, turn as couples; return, bend the line
B2- Circle left ¾ and swing neig

Do we need

Hi all
Hi all
There's often a long announcement segment toward the end of the first
half at many of our local dances, and I've been figuring that after all
that talk, folks just want to dance. The first time I tried doing a NWT
in that slot, it got a great response. So for those of you who call
