Re: [Callers] Community/Family dance

Gale: I would recommend the follow dances... I would call any of these dances at a family dance. Galopede This dance has a signature tune. The signature tune has a C1 part, so when you dance this dance ask the band to play the signature tune. This is a great dance for a family dance, and is a good introduction to the contra set (longways sets). Haste To The Wedding This dance has a signature tune. This is a good introduction to to sicilian circle and teaches the idea of progression in dancing. I also teach the progession first and have the dance progress a couple time (in their magic direction) before I will teach the actually dance. Broken Sixpense - Don Armstrong This is just a great easy contra dance and would recommend this one perhaps a little later, because it has gender rolls (improper formation). If you need any of these dance sequences, let me know, I am sure you can just google anyone of those titles and get the sequence. I would also recommend "Traffic Jam". I can't remember the dance very well, only that it is a great dance to start the night off with. A fun crazy dance, that anyone can do!!! Talk to David Millstone, he is the one who called the dance when I danced it. Jeff
