Mike Richardson wrote several nice dances for 2-part slip jigs, including The Peacock
Follows the Hen and Here’s to 40 More (both on caller’s box). There isn’t time for a
partner swing and a neighbor swing, so I don’t call them as often as I used to.
I’m still refining Otho’s Chorus (also on caller’s box), which uses a 3-part slip jig.
It's too early to call it a favorite (and feedback welcome).
I’m wondering if anyone knows of any good waltz-time dances that go over well with contra
crowds. (One thing I really miss in contra vs english is dancing to varied time
signatures.)
Regards,
Russell

Hi folks,
Any favourite unusual length dances or dances that do unusual things with timings -
across the music or unusual figure lengths? I'm thinking dances like Money musk at 24
bars and Major hey at 40 bars for instance.
Thanks,
Bob
