Re: [Callers] Flow & Glide Contras

I've always thought of Fan in the Doorway by Gene Hubert this way. It takes a little mind bending for everyone involved (band, caller, and dancers) because it's danced to a 3-part slip jig, but once it gets going it can flow like silk. Choreography and one caller's notes here: http://www.sharedweight.net/pipermail/callers/2010-March/002510.html To those notes, I would only add, work beforehand with the band on how to get going and how to stop. Your usual 4-beat potatoes aren't going to work. Also, some bands will have slip jigs of more than three parts. which can work fine, you just can't count on ending the dance after a particular phrase in the music. In my experience bands with slip jigs in their repertoire are delighted to have a chance to play them for dancers.
