[Callers] Ferry Boat Contra Ideas

[Erik Hoffman via Callers]

Dancing Sailors is a fantastic dance -- one of my favorites! It's also 
quite tricky. Unless you're calling to experienced dancers, you may 
choose to avoid this dance, with contra corners into a hey where the 
ones are dancing with their partners, but the twos with a shadow in a 
different minor set, it's ripe for beginner, and even experienced 
confusion. Besides being a challenge when in the middle of the set, the 
end effects are tricky, and can easily increase the confusion factor...
