Re: [Callers] Unsual dances

Here is one of my favorites Down by the Riverside - by Melanie Axel-Lute 3 face 3 - any gender mix works (1 gent, 2 ladies, 1L 2G, 3 G or 3L) A1 - Face N lines of 3 for & back         Do-si-do N you are facing (your opposite A2 - In each line - center person turn contra corners (you only turn Neighbors - not your partners) B1 - All - 2 hand turn with opposite        Circle 6 1/2 way B2 - with just your partners - basket swing - end facing new N - with new person in the center of your group of 3 Have fun with this - it really works nicely.  It is different - but not difficult at all.

The first is *Missionary Men* by Jim Hemphill done in Proper Becket formation: http://dancevideos.childgrove.org/contra/contra-modern/443-mission-men. This one is *Wes Side Story, *a Becket mixer: http://dancevideos.childgrove.org/contra/contra-modern/445-wes-side-story. Another great group of dances to explore are the triplets. One I like is Ted's triplet #7 for teaching contra corners: http://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/dances/ted_sannella/teds_triplet_7.h… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD7Q6dWN430 The Ralph Page Weekend syllabi are also a great place to find a variety of formations. Here is a link to one from 2006: http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2006.pd Happy exploration!
