Hi Bob,
I get this list once a day in digest form, so you might already have this answer.
The triplet is by Linda Leslie, and she just called it Corner Triplet. It’s also mine (called David’s Triplet #1.5), but Linda wrote it first.

I went to the NFO Exploring the Return to Live Events session on Wednesday and the NFO insurance person and the CDSS insurance person both said their policies would not include COVID-19 coverage.

Hello all,
We can't dance right now, but I'm still writing dances :-)
Specifically, when I ran a Kickstarter for the ABCs of Contra Board book,
some folks pledged at a book+choreography tier, and requested family
dances. (I'm also cross-posting this on the growing up trad list.) I'll
have a separate thread about the non-family dances that came out of the
ABCs of Contra.
The first one is called *Rima's Railway Adventure on the Karana Ava Line*.
Written for Rima Dael, her daughter Karana, and her niece Ava.
It's a scatter keeper. So young children get to keep their familiar
partners, but still interact with lots of folks.
In groups of 2~5, make a train (conga line style). The person in the front
is the engine.
All the different trains are dancing around the floor, interacting with
other trains. Trains heading toward each other can make right hand or left
hand stars when they pass. Trains could become tunnels for other trains;
and you can circle in just your train and pick a new engine leader.
Once folks have the moves, you could even do singing-square style patter
calls:
*Here comes a train, on this dark night*
*Charge headlong but pass on the right*
*Reach out your hands and make a star*
*Turn it around but not too far*
*On to the next and look for more*
*pass on the left around the floor*
*With your left hands out star again*
*back around to where you began*
*Now find a tunnel you can go through*
*Make one for them so they're not blue*
*Through the tunnels and don't be slow*
*Find some more as away you go*
*Circle your train in your own group*
*Is your engine starting to droop?*
*Pick a new engine if you need*
*Then set off with a burst of speed*
The second dance was written for Sarah Spence Lee
(of Sarah's Silks: https://www.sarahssilks.com/)
It has variations where you can do it as a mixer or a keeper; and you can
either have partners use silks/hankies, or just take hands. But the hook
part is the Rainbow run:
*You and your partner join hands/silks, and make an arch. Your goal to
runaround the room with your partner, and get as many different people to
gothrough your rainbow, and run through as many different rainbows as you
can.*
And here's some dances using that move:
*Rainbow Stars Keeper*Scatter dance, all start with partner on the floor
A1 -----------
(8) Partner allemande Left
(8) Partner allemande Right
A2 -----------
(16) Rainbow Run
B1 -----------
go half-way through an arch, and make a hands across star
(8) Right Hands across star
(8) Left Hands across star
B2 -----------
(4) Balance Star
(4) Couple with hands below in star pull through to same side, form circle
(8) Circle Left
Or the mixer version, but with silks instead of direct hand-holds. Everyone
can have their silk in their right hand:
*Rainbow Silk Stars Mixer*
A1 -----------
(8) Partner two silk turn
(8) Partner two silk turn other way
A2 -----------
(16) Rainbow Run
B1 -----------
duck halfway through an arch to make a star:
(8) Silks across star (clockwise)
(8) Silks across star the other way
B2 -----------
(8) Circle Left
(8) Neighbor Do-si-do, that’s your new partner
Here's hoping we can dance and call family dances with kids again soon :-)

Hi all,
I have just put 3.5 hours of dance lessons on YouTube. They
are about a different dance style: One man leading two ladies in Modern
Jive. But there are some sections which you may find of interest. The full
set of videos is at http://modernjive.com/videos-dt.html.
Lead & Follow does not exist in basic Contra Dance (see
http://contrafusion.co.uk/LeadFollow.html) but when you do a flourish or
embellishment then there may be a brief period of Lead & Follow. In
Freestyle Waltz there is, of course, lots of Lead & Follow. These videos
teach some of the skills of leading and following:
https://youtu.be/JmIdEa74K-4 6:43 - 8:22 & 9:32 - 10:37
https://youtu.be/IdsvjxIdnzg 0:00 - 1:14
There is also a useful article at http://modernjive.com/history/tension.html
If you like to add fancy moves to your Contra Dance, or to any style of
partner dance, then you may find this document useful:
"Dips & Drops, Leans & Lunges, Lambadas & Seducers: Safety First!" at
http://modernjive.com/SweeneySafeDrops.pdf
You will also find lots of these types of moves taught throughout the
videos.
I use the skills in these videos to lead two ladies at once in Freestyle
Waltz. If you want to try it, then you may find the techniques and moves in
these videos good for inspiration.
I hope you find some of the material interesting or
entertaining.
Happy dancing,
John

I've been asked to call a virtual contra dance next month and am looking for some suggestions for good dances that people have used that work well for 1 or 2 dancers. I've participated in just a few virtual dances, but haven't called one before. I've got a few ideas, but could use some more. Are there any repositories of modified contras suitable for virtual dances? I know there is a site with a lot of English dances, but haven't heard of a similar one for contras.
Also, any tips on things to do, or not do, while leading a virtual dance would be welcome.
Let me know if you have come across any modified dances that have gone over well at online dances. Thanks.

Hi All,
Around 1984, master caller, Larry Edelman lead a calling workshop in Santa Barbara. The first thing he did was to show us a few square dance books he collected at used book stores. One of those books was Advanced Square Dance Figures of the West & Southwest, by Lee Owens and Viola Ruth. Larry told us workshopees that he'd been looking for that book for a time, and found it right under our Santa Barbarians noses. That started me on a now 35 year quest. I frequented Santa Barbara used book stores and, when traveling, looked up the local used book stores in cities I visited, planning my exploration of a town around perusing used book stores in search of square, contra, and some international dance books, as well as folk stories and music books. As you might guess, I now have quite a collection.
And now I'm weeding out my library. In my quest, I've collected quite a number of duplicates. I would love these copies to find homes of people who would love to study the stories of American folk dance and related (or not) folk dances.
Below is a list of these duplicates. I can be convinced to give some away, but I'd like to receive around the price I paid. If you live in the San Francisco area, you can make an arrangement to pick it/them up. If I have to mail it, I'll ask to be remunerated for the cost of shipping.
If a book is not specifically on square dance, these books have a section of square dances or singing games. International, that is, other countries dances, are obvious... If you have any questions about any of them, I'll be glad to give a more complete description. Prices go from $5 to $20.
Cheers,
