Hi,
I'm doing an ONS on a Sunday afternoon for a church group. There will be 4,
5, 6th graders, with some contra dance experience, and adults, some old,
with none. The room has two ROWS of columns, but there is room at the sides
and between the rows of columns. I am thinking of doing a Grand March to
start, to get everyone involved. I have done this several times with
Dudley, all more that twenty years ago, and don't remember how to start
them. Mostly I remember Dudley pointing alternately left and right, very
cool, as we went from marching in two's to marching in four's, eight's and
so forth. Any ideas for what else to do? I'll probably do a circle mixer
next. It would be fun to somehow end the grand march so everyone was in the
circle. How might you do that? And of course, any great ONS dances would be
great to have.
Thanks,
Rickey Holt.
