Weighing in here only because it was my email that originally started the
thread that the Positional Calling topic came up:
Here is a new thread "subject" if folks want to pursue this topic.
I've wiped out the emails preceding this, for clarity.
Given my own negative experiences asking questions
Hi Liz,
I don't see anything particularly challenging in calling this dance
positionally. I presume the A2 is a place you might think so, but there's a
couple of strategies there:
- when the star is formed, have the dancers note their facing [in or out]
direction - then recall that for the wave
-
I love to use them when I have a small number of couples, because they avoid
having people having to sit out on the ends for very long. Double progressions
can also be fun in the middle of the night with a large group to get the
dancers zooming through the lines and meeting lots of new people.
When I began calling contras, I was advised to avoid double progression
dances in general because they had limited use.
When do you use such contras?
