Subject: [Callers] Re: dances in that space between community and beginnersThanks, Seth. I agree there’s a shortage of repertoire in that sweet spot around Family Contra/ Jefferson and Lincoln, etc, so I’ll be trying these dances out soon.MegOn Mon, Jan 23, 2023 at 10:15 PM Tepfer, Seth via Contra Callers <contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:_______________________________________________Hello Callers
Last Saturday I found myself at a dance that had a large number of first time dancers (50+) and a fair number of experienced dancers. This is a fascinating place to be - more than Galopede, but pre-Chain in teaching. Family Contra by Sherry Nevins is the canonical dance. (https://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=10422)
I was inspired to come up with 3 others. Have you seen any of these before? Are they simply re-writes of existing dances?

I work with many groups that aren’t skilled in contra, so I wrote these. I hope some of them help.
