Re: [Callers] Contras with square dance figures

If it can be done with four people, it's likely been put in a contra by _someone_. Some other moves that I don't think anyone's mentioned yet: Cloverleaf Grand right and left Lady around two/gent cut through Orbit (many dances) (derived from Spin the Top via Fenterlarick) And some more obscure ones: Two-leaf clover Dip and dive Roll the barrel Mountain style do-si-do All eight spin the top Spin the top Catch all Eight (as in "Dancing Bear") Do paso Dixie style to a wave Scoot back Half sashay Veer In some contras written by Contralab folks, you have all sorts of stuff, including Run Trade the wave Sweep a quarter Walk and dodge Wheel and deal Shuffle the deck Diamond circulate Explode And plugging some of my own really weird dances, I've got: Not Your Average Joe: Birdie in the cage Rufty Rainbows: Rainbow stroll TLC Tempest: Three ladies chain Two Steps Forward: Ladies center/gents sashay Wagon Reel: Wagon wheel (One could even argue "Ladies chain" is this fancy new quadrille figure that got introduced into contras.) -Chris Page San Diego On Sat, Aug 4, 2018 at 12:51 PM, Rachel Shapiro via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:
