Many thanks to all of you who offered helpful suggestions. I am now more
confident I can help these folks create some joy. I’ll also check in with
those recommended Facebook groups to see if there are other good ideas.

I've been asked if I will teach/lead a one hour long 'contra dance' at a
day program for young adults with a variety of physical and cognitive
disabilities. (The staff probably would be happy for me to do more than one
session, but I'm not willing to commit to that. At Least not now.)
My usual
Thanks to JJ and Ken. I plan to add this to my collection. (And love the
music link.)

I’m also planning to resume calling squares and am enjoying this useful
thread.

Thanks for this Maia; you said it better than I can.
And as I’ve said elsewhere, learning to teach/call positionally and
adapting to dancing to Larks/Ravens has, for me, the bonus of creating new

I made the same changes Chrissy did and for the same reason. I think it

Assuming that the cancellation would be to protect them and their guests
