[Callers] Re: Teaching 'contra' to adults with various developmental disabilities

There are (mainly UK?)Facebooks groups with knowledge about this as you don’t seem to be getting much here. (2) Callers' Forum | Facebook (2) Double Progress (where everybody's in all of the time) | Groups | Facebook From: Michael Fuerst via Contra Callers Sent: 09 October 2023 07:32 To: contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net Subject: [Callers] Re: Teaching 'contra' to adults with various developmental disabilities Thirty or so years ago a since deceased acquaintance told me his experience calling a contra dance for developmentally disabled adults. The first dance he chose (I assume it quite simple) took a while to teach. But once started the group enjoyed it. When the group lined up again and he started teaching another dance, the group protested. They wanted to do the same dance !! So he did the same dance for the rest of the program. I don't recall his telling me how long the program was. I can't imagine your doing more than 3 dances in an hour But don't be surprised if you end up needing only one dance. _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
