I can think of no more-appropriate time to dance these:This isn't to claim that an existence proof of an appropriate time exists, only that no other time is more appropriate!--jh--_______________________________________________On Sat, Mar 30, 2024 at 8:55 AM Bob Morgan via Contra Callers <contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:Total Equality:A1 People on the right chain across (as ladies' chain) (3)Same people meet palms to palms and push off backwards and slightly to the left (as in a ricochet hey) as the others step right behind them (2)The others chain across, finishing meeting in the middle (3)A2 Those in the middle (balance and) swing (8)B1 Partner balance and swing and finish a random way around (8)B2 Take hands in a ring of 4: balance the ring (2)Pass through across, turning right to face back in (2)Lines forward and back, sliding left one couple (4)The B2 is quite cunning for a dance aimed at role swapping._______________________________________________On Sat, 30 Mar 2024, 12:12 mo via Contra Callers, <contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:On 2024-03-30 11:15, Bob Morgan via Contra Callers wrote:

Is Total Equality the 3 birds (magpies in the middle) dance? Fairly

Judging by dancers I have watched (including 1 caller), I wonder how
many dancers would notice the 28b dance to 32 b tune. Unless the caller
