I penned this dance to honor a hiking buddy, who finished the NH 4000 footers Cora is a Bernease mountain dog who is very dear to me. Her ‘partner’ organizes the Gilmanton NH 2nd Saturday Contra Dance. When Cora is in the hall she thinks it is her job to heard the dancers, thus the 1st Woman circling the other 3 in A1 and “escorting” in A2 I have called the dance on a couple of occasions to Experienced Dancers And it does work Of course the dance needs to be called to Jigs (as a play on Chorus Jig) Original Message: ----------------- From: Tepfer, Seth LABST(a)emory.edu Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 11:52:35 -0500 To: gtwood(a)worldpath.net, callers(a)sharedweight.net Subject: RE: [Callers] weird contra dances I'd love that dance if you have a chance!
