I’m a square dancer myself but most of my contra repertoire is for modern contra dancers- 2 swings, lots of Balance and swing, etc. I’d like more dances with MWSD moves in them and possibly without any, or only 1, swing, and they don’t need to have a partner swing. The dancers I am teaching are all either plus or advanced, so they will tire pretty quickly of the usual simple glossary contras I would normally do in a teaching situation. They can do the moves; it’s the formation that is new to them.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Judy<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div id="gmail-m_-880773143942596016m_6636786697433527171DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
