[Callers] Re: Looking for a Tune

Well, you know, Neil, every time I've ever called a Virginia Reel or any other dive to the top dances for community-style dances, the dancers are always late doing the dive to the top, so this allows for diving under 2-3-4 arches to progress, and I can get maybe 8 or more couples dancing instead of 4 or 6 dancers, which is the kind of line I was in when I learned the dance. So it seems perfectly reasonable to me to allow extra time to get everyone back in place. The 1-2-3-4 part is also shaking hands (actually, it probably should be 1-2-3, step back), so it's shake (rest) shake (rest) shake shake shake step back -- *Looking forward,Linda S.
