Subject: [External] [Callers] Re: Seeking dances with turning contra corners
Thank you Alan and Peter. (I'm still soliciting for interesting contra corner
dances.)
Utah Ree, Double Trouble and men at the End all satisfy my request quite excellently
I think Utah Reel is the one I have danced with Will Mentor calling.
When calling one of these, I would suggest having those turning contra corners to think
of their corners as 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base and home plate

There's my dance Double Trouble, which alternates the 1s and 2s, who
turn double contra corners

There is also Men at the End, again with double contra corners but
the alternation is women, then men

(1) I am seeking the dance where 1's and 2's
take turns being active
and when active, dancers turn four different corners.
(2) I am compiling a list of contra corners dances that people like or
find distinctive.
