Re: [Callers] Waltz contras - does anyone have any in their box?

I've had some success with Mike Richardson's dance "Another Jig Will Do." It's not a waltz, but dances as one. Musically, it fits a two-part slip-jig such as "The Snowy Path" or two parts of the three-part "The Butterfly." See http://www.quiteapair.us/calling/acdol/dance/acd_10.html for details of the figure. I can generally find a waltz rhythm within the 9/8 signature, but I've seen some dancers struggle with this, so check the tune with the band beforehand. These same dancers were upset with me for asking them to use a waltz step during a contra, so it might not have been the tune. --Jerome On Wed, Jan 23, 2013 at 11:00 AM, <callers-request(a)sharedweight.net> wrote: -- Jerome Grisanti 660-528-0858 http://www.jeromegrisanti.com For the good are always the merry, Save by an evil chance, And the merry love the fiddle And the merry love to dance. ~ William Butler Yeats
