[Callers] Waltz-Time Contra Choreography

[Claire Takemori via Callers]

Now that Bob pointed out that waltz tunes would be 32 bars = 96 beats, I might add more to this dance one day, so it could be danced to AABB waltzes.  Alan Winston wrote and helped me understand that this dance should be written like this instead:

I wrote this for a small (beginner heavy) contra dance that I call frequently.  When we ended with a waltz, many didn?t know how. I tried to teach them a simple ?movie waltz? for couples, but it didn?t seem satisfying.  I wanted something simple that they could move to the waltz time and enjoy dancing without knowing how to couple dance.  It has been tested a few times and folks say they like it.  Let me know if you call it?
