Re: [Callers] Chestnuts and Money Musk

Money Musk called and danced at the Wescustogo Grange Hall, North Yarmouth, Maine. First dance after the break - about 10:30pm. Dancers: Five sets of 6 ccouples - 60 dancers Band: Perpetual eMotion (Ed Howe & John Cote) Caller: Chrissy Fowler Did a workshop before the dance, with about 30 dancers. All were enthusiastic and pleased to be part of the big event. Much hooting and hollering. Loping pace for the tune (plenty of recovery time for the Money Musk newbies, well-timed elegant styling for the old hands.) Some people apparently showed up specifically because Money Musk was on the program, thanks to some some advance publicity. Two sets merged, so a few people didn't get the chance to be active, because I didn't want to run it too long. (Though I could have... after all I was at that Ralph Page Legacy Weekend when we danced it 43x!) I had practiced so much that I prompted the dance all night long in my sleep. ("Once and a half around, once and a half and you go below one...") Wheee! :-) Chrissy _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.
