Re: [Callers] Favorite dance to teach a ladies chain?

Hi Luke, It depends on the skill levels in the hall. If I have a lot of first timers or perpetual beginners I use a very simple dance like http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/ChainnHey.html For teaching I would much rather do the chain there and back to give more practice; the Yearn means that the dancers are set up ready to start the chain (no guarantee they will be in the right place after a beginner swing!); and the ladies flow out of the second chain to start the hey. By the way, I see you put the apostrophe in “gent’s chain”, so surely it should be “ladies’ chain” ☺ Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive Events & DVDs http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent
