as a non musician who calls and loves to dance -
that was a terrific insight into how musicians "see &
feel" the dance. THANK YOU

Thank you for a great and timely discussion of how
inter-related the calls, the tunes, and the dancers
really are... As a new caller, a
young-and-gaining-experience dance fiddler, and an
I've-been-dancing-for-years dancer who wasn't why
some dances were FUN and some were pretty fun and
some were okay, I've been trying my darndest to
figure out how to match tunes with dances, to create
a WOW experience for the dancers... A new way to
look at the music, and to play the phrases with a
dance card in front of me!

I'd do a nice set of polkas - like the Ballydesmond
Polkas. For the
more Old Timey minded, Rock the Cradle Joe or
perhaps Grub Springs
could work.

Richard,
I have called the dance below (St. Louis dance)
but I don't have
the title
and author. I danced it in Cincinnati with Kathy
Anderson calling. I
describe the pull-bys in B2 as "square thru
two."
(Partner balance,
pull by,
Neighbor pull by to face next)
Because there are balances both at the top and the
bottom of the
A1, it
helps to have an appropriate tune. I wish I could
recommend one.
Musicians?

Dead silence for weeks and then a four page rant?
OK, I'm going to stop lurking and finally jump in.
Brace yourself.
