A local band here plays Beaumont Rag As a part of their routine dance set. It’s a popular band.
I’ve never experienced a contra dance The band has chosen to play for a dance work. It doesn’t work for the dancers and it’s agonizing for the caller.
Can anyone suggest a dance that could fit? At this point I’m planning to request they don’t include the tune.
I know there’s an English dance written to match but not interested in that for this set.
