Hello Callers
Last Saturday I found myself at a dance that had a large number of first time dancers
(50+) and a fair number of experienced dancers. This is a fascinating place to be - more
than Galopede, but pre-Chain in teaching. Family Contra by Sherry Nevins is the canonical
dance. (

I was inspired to come up with 3 others. Have you seen any of these before? Are they
simply re-writes of existing dances?
