Re: [Callers] Contra Dances with Modern Western Square Dance Figures

Highly recommend Dale Wilson's Gold Star Wednesday - I added Dale to this reply and he can fill you in on a teaching secret. It contains the star inversion that comes from square dancing. Also Rang Tang Contra by Ridge Kennedy comes to mind - it uses the Georgia Rang Tang figure. Kath Anderson's Deep Well uses a figure she saw clogers performing - does that count?

I have a number dances with square thrus and swing thrus and box circulates. However, these moves are fairly well known at this point. This will be an advanced group of dancers so I'm looking for dances that incorporate more unique and sophisicated moves. I know Bob Isaacs has several that quality, with dances that use Spin the Top and Spin Chain Exchange the Gears. Looking forward to seeing what you may have. -- *Mark Hillegonds* Cell: 734-756-8441 <(734)%20756-8441> Email: mark.hillegonds(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net
