[Callers] Re: Easy but super fun 4X4 contras

I have a little comment about terminology in the description http://rickmohr.net/Contra/Dances.asp#DanceAllNight and teaching of "Dance All Night". The "corner" with whom you do the left allemande in A2 is the same corner with whom you did the swing in A1. This is in contrast to the situation in Al Olson's "First Bloom," as notated on page 47 of the 2009 Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend syllabus https://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2009.pdf where in B1 you allemande with a new corner, defined relative to the position in which you formed the temporary square at the end of A1. Conventions about terminology are a bit different in squares (where "partner" and "corner" are often defined relative to the current arrangement of dancers) than in contras (where--except in rare cases such as contra mixers or in situations where people are intentionally swapping positions--"partner" generally means your original partner, regardless of your current relative positions). In the case of a 4-face-4 dance where dancers form a temporary square, I think it pays to be explicit. When I say to be explicit, I *don't* mean that you should give an elaborate explanation about terminology conventions, etc., etc. Long-winded explanations, no matter how technically accurate, are often more confusing than helpful. I'm merely suggesting that as dancers finish walking through the star, instead of simply identifying the person with whom to allemande left as "your corner" you can avoid ambiguity by using more explicit wording--for example, "that same corner you just swung". --Jim
