[Callers] Re Alternate Formations

Hi Greg, Sorry, I used the word "club" in a very generic way - I meant any form of regular gathering, series, dance or session where contra dances are danced. My note was a response to your words: "The term "contra dance" as an event name seems pretty clear." Your response seems to agree with my understanding, i.e. that the term is not well defined and is used by anyone running a dance to mean what they want it to mean, just like the terms "barn dance", "ceilidh" and even "square dance" are used over here. We often get people asking us to run a square dance when they want simple dances in any formation, and never notice if I don't call a square all night! And, strangely, they often dress up as cowboys and cowgirls even though we are doing English dances to English tunes. Ah, the power of the media!
