<div><div>Could you clarify the B2 of this dance? You say that you form lines at the sides and swing. But the lines don't go forward and back at any point. Is your partner in the opposite line from you or in the same line?<br><div class="acompli_signature"><br>Sent from <a href="http://taps.io/outlookmobile">Outlook</a></div><br></div></div>

I was grateful to have the few triplets I had, <br>and I'd like to expand my collection. The ones I used were <br>Microchasmic, David's Triplet #7 and Ted's Triplet #24, which all have <br>distinctive bits in them (contra corners, round two/drop through, and a <br>cast to invert then 1s lead up, respectively). I like triplets that <br>have some choreographic substance to them, something for the dancers to <br>chew on. <br> <br>Do you have favorites you enjoy dancing as well as calling? I get the <br>impression sometimes that triplets are "that thing you do to fill time <br>until the real dancing starts," but 3-couple sets can be a whole lot of <br>fun. And sometimes they can save your butt as a caller. <br> <br>We had lots of odd numbers last night, so in addition to the triplets <br>and 3-couple English dances I used dances like Domino 5 (5 dancers) and <br>Pride of Dingle (for 9). For a short while we had 4 couples and did <br>contras but most of the evening was "other." Got any good dances for <br>odd numbers? <br> <br>Kalia <br>_______________________________________________ <br>Callers mailing list <br> <a href="mailto:Callers@lists.sharedweight.net">Callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a> <br> <a href="http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net">http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net</a> <br> <br> <br> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <br><br></div>
