[Callers] New Dance: The Raeden Reel

Hi Folks, passing along a new dance I'm partial to (not the least reason being that it's named after our baby daughter). The dance is by Bob Isaacs and the composition was won as an auction item at a recent Concord Scout House fundraiser by a friend of ours, whom named it after our young maiden. It was first called at the Thursday 4/19/12 dance before NEFFA, to our total surprise (and with Raeden dancing with us!). There's a video of it being called by me this past Saturday (not my best go of the evening :) to music by the new band Firefly at http://youtu.be/tDtih1tgdVs . -Don The Raeden Reel – DI – Bob Isaacs A1 (4,4) Bal., box the gnat (8) Mad Robin A2 (6) Cir.

All push off from the box the gnat and can confidently look at their partner because they know where their neighbor is.”* *Sponsored by Robin Humes for Don and Sage Veino's daughter Raeden.
