[Callers] Re: Cures for the Claps?

OUCH!!! Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England From: Jeff Kaufman via Contra Callers <contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> A kind of "clapping" I like a lot on Rory O'Mores is when you balance right and left, slide right, and then on beats "7" and "8" you percussively (but without so much force that you hurt anyone!) connect hands in the new wave with first your left hand and then your right. And the left/right reverse when sliding back. It's a nice bit of connection, though it does require good timing. (This is different from clapping your own hands together on beats "7-and" and "8", petronella-style) Jeff
