I started calling contras well before squares, and aside from MWSD, dance approximately 11
times more contras per year than squares. If I am calling to new dancers, it doesn't
seem
Like I will serve them well by calling a form I am less familiar with myself. The trap
is, that with no squares series in town, I don't know how I ever will get that level
of experience, either as a dancer or as a caller. So while I love squares, really and
truly, and can even see that new dancers might find them more accessible, I don't know
that it makes sense for me to call them at ONS gigs.

To keep this on topic just in case it gets posted: I had a wonderful one nighter last
night. Three squares in a large garage. All circles and squares and the Virginia Reel. I
would never try to do a duple minor at an event like that. The group was very, very happy.
Squares rule!
