Re: [Callers] Folk Festival - Easy Contra dances to teach Beginners

Here’s another easy one – my version of J & L, using ideas picked from other callers: Jefferson & Liberty #27 Contra; Improper A1: Circle Left; Star Right A2: Star Left; Circle Right – finish where you started B1: #1s Dance Down the Outside (6), Turn around (2) #1s Dance Back Up the Outside & into the Middle of a Line of Four between the #2s (8) B2: Down the Hall in Lines of Four (4) Backwards Up the Hall in Lines of Four (4) #1s Arch, #2s go through the Arch to Face New Neighbours (8) Note: A1 is 16 steps in one direction, A2 is 16 steps back the other way. I generally call “Keep Moving” as the prompt half way through each A music. Use fast, lively music!
