[Callers] Re: Classes for callers?

Meet Me in St Louis will indeed have a workshop this year.  Waiting to get with our caller to see what it will be.  Getting our schedule out early is not our strong point.  Also - we are currently focused on organizing a memorial dance March 1 for Bob Green who died tragically in an auto accident late last year.  That will have open calling. We do have a monthly calling party at one of the dancers homes (yes - Bob organized that too).  It has resulted in the development of several new callers.  I know other communities have similar events.  I hope you can find one near you Also - as you know - part of MMISL is open calling and we would love to have you participate.  Calling at a dance weekend event is by far the easiest group of dancers to call for.

(E.g. Meet Me in St Louis had a calling workshop in 2024, but the schedule isn't out yet for 2025.) My wife and I were long-time Boston-area contra dancers who are now trying to bring the tradition to our adopted city in Austria.  Almost all the dancers are new, I'm a new caller, and I believe it would help me to attend a class to learn more and get feedback on my technique.   Thanks,   Brian ---- Bringing contra dance to Graz, Austria https://contradance.at/ _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
