Re: [Callers] What is the best contra dance(s) ever written?

Hello Kalia  Best dance experience of course depends upon both partner and music, but a best dance transcends both partner and music   Michael Fuerst      802 N Broadway      Urbana IL 61801       217-239-5844 ________________________________ From: Kalia Kliban <kalia(a)sbcglobal.net> To: Caller's discussion list <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 3:06 PM Subject: Re: [Callers] What is the best contra dance(s) ever written? It's hard to single out any particular dance since so much depends on the music and the partners.  I could have a massively peak dance experience doing a completely generic dance if my partner and I were really in tune with each other and the room and if the band was cooking.  Likewise, the best dance in the world wouldn't be able to make up for a partner or line who weren't getting it, or a band that was struggling. That being said, I'm paying a lot of attention to the dances folks are singling out here.  It's always good to hear recommendations. So I can't speak to its objective perfection or lack thereof, but I had a fantastic time with Joel's In The Kitchen (Sue Rosen) at the Petaluma contra a few weeks back.  KGB was playing and I had an excellent partner (thanks, Dan!).  So that one's a standout for me at the moment.
