Now I'm very curious about how many of us have higher degrees, and what fields they're in. (Maybe calling really IS rocket science! <g>) If you have a terminal degree or know of a caller who does, would you be willing to e-mail that info to me? I'll collate the info and share it back with you as one letter. Thanks!! Tina Fields tfields8 at yahoo dot com Tina R.

The evening I am preparing them for is tomorrow night. The dances are Turning Point and A Rollin and A Tumblin. Here are the dances and my questions: (1) Turning Point (do you know the author) Duple Improper A1 Women change places (with a ? gypsy) (4) Circle left ? (4) Partner Swing (8) A2 Men change places (with a ? gypsy) (4) Circle left ? (4) Neighbor do-si-do (8) B1 Neighbor Balance and Swing (16) B2 Right and Left over (not back) (8) Star left (8) When my wife and I walk this at home I believe that she has an abrupt change of direction to get from the circle left ? to the partner swing, and I know that I have a similar abrupt change of direction to get from the circle left ? to the neighbor do-si-do, if I am correct to do that with the neighbors who are then below me. This seems do-able, even fun, but, as it seems unusual, I wanted to try and be sure that it was correct. (2) A Rollin and A Tumblin (Cis Hinkle) Duple Improper A1 Neighbor balance and swing (16) A2 Long lines forward and back, women roll away on the way back (8) Same again, but men roll away (8) B1 Women Allemande Right (1 ? ) (8) Partner Swing (8) B2 Ladies chain (over but not back) (8) Star left (8) I have been having trouble getting dancers to roll away on the way back, rather than after the forward and back. Should mess up the timing, although not too much bad seems to follow. What experiences with this dance have you had? Thanks as always (And my dancers thank you too) Rickey Holt Fremont, NH ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 13:02:04 -0700 From: "Chris Page" &lt;chriscpage(a)gmail.com&gt; Subject: Re: [Callers] Turning Point and A Rollin and A Tumblin To: "Caller's discussion list" &lt;callers(a)sharedweight.net&gt; Message-ID: &lt;9469896c0805091302t57e01802hfb4048301117fedd(a)mail.gmail.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 5/9/08, Rickey &lt;holt.e(a)comcast.net&gt; wrote: Gene Hubert (It's "The Turning Point") Your transcription appears to be correct. The first is the same sort of transition as appears in the A1 of "Alternating Corners" or "Roll in the Hey." The second is the same deal as the women's role in "Midwest Folklore", among other dances. You can use the connection of the circle to pull into the do-si-do.

I've had this same problem. All I've been able to do is to emphacize the "and on the way back out" in the walk through. It also helps if they're giving weight through the long lines -- that way the connection for the rollaway is already there. ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 19:49:20 -0700 (PDT) From: mavis mcgaugh &lt;yankeecalls(a)yahoo.com&gt; Subject: Re: [Callers] Turning Point and A Rollin and A Tumblin To: Caller's discussion list &lt;callers(a)sharedweight.net&gt; Message-ID: &lt;474123.69119.qm(a)web36405.mail.mud.yahoo.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I never use the phrase forward and back when I teach this dance. I say take hands in lines and walk forward and STOP -- then I say Gents as you back up roll your neighbor away with a half sashay then I say take hands in lines and walk forward and STOP Ladies on your way back roll that same neighbor gent away with a 1/2 sashay if there are a lot of beginners I teach the roll away during the newcomer's session. --- Jack Mitchell &lt;jamitch3(a)mindspring.com&gt; wrote: Mavis L McGaugh 510-814-8118 (answering machine-leave message) ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Lots among contra musicians too. A few who come to mind: Among New Mexico callers, Merri Rudd is a probate judge, Donna Howell has a PhD in biology, Will McDonald and Katherine Bueler have masters. In California, Kirston Koths has a PhD.
