[Callers] Starting A Contra Dance...

Hey Everyone: A friend and I were thinking about starting a contra dance in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. Chesterfield is about 10-15 minutes West of Keene, New Hampshire and about 10-15 minutes East of Brattleboro, Vermont. We were thinking about having the dance on Thursday nights at the Chesterfield Town Hall. We were thinking that Thursday nights would be a good time, because we would not have to compete with the Friday and Saturday night dances, and the only other contra dance would be Cambridge. As anyone who does not live in the Greater Boston Area knows that the trip to Cambridge can be a long one, especially on a Thursday night. I would hope that we could gear the dance so that it would have a nice balance of traditional and modern contra dance styles, to appeal to the more traditional dances in New Hampshire and also the more modern dances of Greenfield, MA. Any comments or feedback would be very helpful. Thanks, Jeff Jeffrey M.
