Hello Callers !

Wondering if anyone has written some “contra” dances that maintain 6 feet distance?   

I’m imagining trying (narrow)pool noodles to use as spacers (outdoors).  Maybe cut to 3 foot lengths with magnets at the ends to clack & connect to the next noodle.

I know someone doing Intl Folk with ribbons and they were shared by accident, and are obviously too flexible to help keep distance.

I can also see it being more like solo dancing with “contra” moves in HUGE figures (more aerobic?) or maybe something totally different? 

If you’d like to chat about choreo ideas for distanced outdoor (masks, gloves, etc) “contra” dances, please email me.

I believe there will be intermediate stages of coming back to dance and we can try when County and State Health limitations allow (Mine just opened up for out door gatherings last week).


(I’m very aware of the issues, the research about covid, and our State and County Health regulations.) I’m looking for conversation about what coming back to dancing might look like, and choreography to support this that is fun.

Thanks for your on-topic replies. 

Best,
Claire Takemori (CA)
