Great Tongue Twister, Don: A proper petronella proved pretty popular. Makes me think of
the Trout Fishing kids song "All I Want is a proper cup of coffee, made in a proper
copper coffee pot..........."
Sorry for the aside - just couldn't resist.

Subject: Re: [Callers] alternate formations
When David Millstone came to town for a chestnut workshop, he pointed
out that in historical context the downtime of being inactive couple
wasn't a bad thing (time for socializing, etc).
In our dance last month it was mid 90's and pretty humid. To me that
was a good opportunity for some dances with built in rest breaks. A
proper petronella proved pretty popular.

Here is a new topic...
Recently I have noticed that many of the programs presented have consisted solely of
duple improper contras with a couple Becket dances thrown in for variety.
I would be interesting to hear how other callers incorporate other formations in their
programs and how they and the dancer feel about it
