Hey folks,
After a number of relatively quiet caller years (parenting; pandemic), I've
started to dig deep to expand my repertoire and up my skills. It feels
like it's time for lots more dance fun! :)
One dance that I've really enjoyed is Heartbeat Contra (by Don Flaherty -
see below).
Tom Calwell called it in Ottawa way back in 2010 and at the top of the B1,
he called Al R 1.5 or ANYTHING (R shoulder round, swing, DSD).
*Do any of you throw in a 'do anything' moment in an evening of contra
programming?* I'm always looking for fun, playful moments that make dancers
smile and this feels like a lovely one. If you throw in an anything
moment, how do you choose when?
*And do you have other strategies for adding playfulness to an evening?*
I've got some dances which I find super playful and fun (e.g., Three's
Company - Altered & Alternating - Paul Balliet)
Thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Emily in Ottawa
