[Callers] Re: The Montague Processional

Hi Bob, Larry and Molly play it at around 108 bpm. That is not too slow for a smooth contra. Choose something that flows smoothly like Flirtation Reel or The Mad Gypsy (http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/TheMadGypsy.html) (use a swing instead of the Two hand Turn). You just need to persuade (challenge?) the dancers to use all the music and make it flow - or play it slightly faster.

As it’s normally played slowly I doubt there’s a _contra_ dance per se, but maybe there exists some other choreographed movement that’d be accessible to contra dancers? I’m calling for the Rainbow Contra Dancer’s last dance in Montague (they’re moving venues to Northampton), so I thought the tune would be a nice tribute to their 10 years there. _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
