Susan,
I've replied to you offlist, but I'll reiterate for
anyone else who may be passing through Memphis,
Tennessee: This is the Volunteer state and we love
volunteer guest callers in Memphis, and the people
to contact about calling here are Joan and Ernest
Kelly. Contact info may be found here on the Memphis

Can this dance work if the inactives are included in
the Rory O'More line? So at the end of A1, instead
of actives only, everyone would come forward into a
LWL, taking hands with their partner and a neighbor
or the opposite gender. Balance, balance, and twirl,
repeat, then the initial call for B1 would be
something like:
1's by the right whilethe 2's back out, 1st corners
alle-mande
Has anyone tried it this way? I think this is what I
will do, if I don't end up scrapping it all together
due to nervousness or time constraints.
I would strongly recommend against doing this. It's
important to let people experience our dance history.
In fact, many of the chestnuts were originally done as
triple minors; I occasionally call a triple minor
(almost never Sackett's Harbor, more typically Beaux
of Albany) just to go even further back into that
history.
By the way, Rory O'More has no twirl written into it.
It's a recent addition, as is the "Petronella clap".

Thank you so much for your input!!
