Re: [Callers] Contras with square dance figures

Here's one I wrote and have used many times successfully. You may wish to look up the figure on YouTube if you have difficulty visualizing it: Sow the Wheat Contra (improper) Chuck Abell 1/15 A1 Bal and swing N (16) A2 Gents alle left 1 1/2x (8) (8) P swing (8) B1 Ladies chain (8) Bal ring, gents roll P across set (8) B2 Bal the ring (4) Sow the wheat/mow the clover 1 1/2x, ones duck first (12)* w/ new N…. * Twos arch, ones duck under, then back up arching over the twos, then duck again to progress. Basically an inside dosido 1 1/2x while holding partner’s hand. ________________________________ From: Callers <callers-bounces(a)lists.sharedweight.net> on behalf of Rachel Shapiro via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> Sent: Saturday, August 4, 2018 7:51 PM To: callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net Subject: [Callers] Contras with square dance figures Hi all, I'm in search of contras that have borrowed interesting figures from traditional and modern western square dances. Do you have any favorites you're willing to share? I've got Rang Tang Contra and some dances with Dixie Twirls. Lots with Box the Gnat and Swat the Flea. Any others you love? Thank you!
