Re: [Callers] Dances With Minimal Partner Time (Was: dances with ultimate partner time)

Greg, If you want the ultimate in low partner interaction - one where you don't actually touch your partner Snake River Reel by Peter Lippincott (he also wrote a great tune by the same name and they work well together) It is a really fun dance, except for that one minor flaw. Roger Diggle gave us Snake Oil Reel to add a partner swing to Peter's dance - but it replaces a unique promenade figure in the original dance Mac ________________________________ From: Greg McKenzie <grekenzie(a)gmail.com> To: Caller's discussion list <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Cc: callers-request(a)sharedweight.net Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2013 3:40 PM Subject: [Callers] Dances With Minimal Partner Time (Was: dances with ultimate partner time) Hey Folks, I do enjoy dances with good partner interaction...but I have a lot of those.  What I am interested in now is contra dances with minimal partner interaction.  No.  Not dances without a partner swing.  (That would likely engender too many complaints.)  I'm looking for dances with eight or fewer beats of partner swing, total, for the dance.. Yes.  A four-count partner swing would work.  But often the better choice is one with ones-only swinging or twos-only swinging, (so the partner swing count for the entire dance is lower overall). I am particularly interested in easy-to moderate contra dances with good neighbor interaction (including neighbor swings).
