Re: [Callers] waltz mixers?

Chrissy, What a sweet question. Thanks. My favorite? The Wood Duck by Fried de Metz Herman. Even the contracentrics may cave into this ECD. Done w/ proper spacing, it is a thing of total beauty, to watch and to dance. It's easy to remember from a caller's view. It has a quality of very powerful unity w/in the group. I love these dances. They have a great inclusive feel. Anyone have other dances that do this for them? Would love to hear.
