Re: [Callers] [Organizers] contra dance gypsy

Delia said, “especially with the family/community/ONS dances that are my mainstay. It’s easy to call, emphasizes eye contact, flirty and fun like the original move.” Please see http://contrafusion.co.uk/Gypsy.html. The original move was not flirty and did not involve eye contact :-) For a family event with children present I don’t understand why anyone would want to emphasise flirtation. I teach the Gypsy (and use words such as “lock eyeballs”) at countless family events and they don’t find it flirtatious; they find it hilarious.
