Judy,
Dick Leger published an LP of contras written by Roger Whynot. The LP was
aimed at square dancers and included Flutter Wheel and Sweep 1/4 More.
Perhaps I will be able to find it later and post some dances.
I called contras at the New England Square and Round Dance Convention this
year and the dancers enjoyed contras that I also call at modern contra
dances, Keep the progressions simple, and keep the swings short.
Peace,
Rich

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.
Thanks,
Judy
