This may not be common to all codes of square dancing. cheers Jeanette Jeanette Mill Contra dance caller, musician, workshop facilitator Canberra, Australia Phone: +61 (0)449 686 077 Email: jeanette_mill(a)yahoo.com.au Skype: jeanette.mill "The piano - 88 little mistakes waiting to happen" Kate Barnes On Wednesday, 19 July 2017, 12:28, Judy Greenhill via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: Hi everyone, I have undertaken to teach some modern square dancers how to contra dance, and I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this and has any dances to recommend? I’m a square dancer myself but most of my contra repertoire is for modern contra dancers- 2 swings, lots of Balance and swing, etc. I’d like more dances with MWSD moves in them and possibly without any, or only 1, swing, and they don’t need to have a partner swing. The dancers I am teaching are all either plus or advanced, so they will tire pretty quickly of the usual simple glossary contras I would normally do in a teaching situation. They can do the moves; it’s the formation that is new to them.
