Re: [Callers] Contra friendly squares

There are many reasons some contra dancers don't like squares. One is that they take a long time to teach. For some squares it's a good idea to walk through the figure for both the heads and sides. Depending on the caller and dancers a full length break may be taught as well. When I call where there are both beginners and square haters, I look for quick teach squares. One that comes to mind is Reel Your Partner by Ted S. I also highly recommend squares written by Tony Parkes. He's written many that are accessible and a the same time interesting.
