[Callers] Re: Best '20s Dances

Hi all, Thanks for all the ideas. I had forgotten about the Old Measures. I am working on a zesty Circle Mixer version of the Black Alman. The 1920s were not good for new dances, but at least three books were published: Sharp V6, Country Dances New Series V1 and the Ashover Dances. I guess I could use some of those. There were some new dances, for example KS's Two Couple dance "Two's Company" is referred to in E.F.D.S New, but I have been unable to discover the choreography. Someone suggested "Good Morning" (1926) which I was already trying to acquire. I found it at https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/006522644 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b281688 <https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b281688&view=1up&seq=9> &view=1up&seq=9 It is interesting that, in "Good Morning", Henry Ford/Benjamin Lovett calls all the square dances "quadrilles", and provides the ballroom-hold, buzz-step swing as an alternative to the Two-Hand Turn for "Turn Partners". Thanks.
