Re: [Callers] New callers material?

Peter, David, Chris, and Chip, Thanks for the suggestions. I've added links to Cary Ravitz's choreography article, Richard Power's teaching notes article, and a PDF of Peter Amidon's callers' workshop overview (found on Karen Fontana's website). I also added descriptions of Ted's first two books -- I had forgotten that he included detailed notes on the dances, and only had in mind that Zesty and Give-and-Take might have contained the sequences. The clear descriptions of the choreography might well be a little more accessible to new callers than the terse dance descriptions in Zesty. I don't have his third, and should probably get a copy. Caller Woody Lane mentioned a David Kaynor book on calling, but I don't see it on the CDSS sales web site. (shortly later) Ah, I see that David's website mentions it as "calling for beginners by beginners" and to contact him for more information. I'll do that, and also link to his page of "musings" (http://www.davidkaynor.com/musings.html) Now that I've finished procrastinating on taxes, I'll get back to fleshing out the rest of my own articles. While I don't claim to be an expert on teaching new callers, it seems that there's a bit of a gap in the material on the web. As we have some folks in the area with an interest in starting to call, I feel there's a bit of a local need for the material. We may well start a series of "dance parties" to provide opportunities for these new folks. If anyone knows of other articles on calling, let me know, and I'll happily link to them. FYI, I was still tweaking my page when I sent out my last message, and that's why some didn't find the "resources.html" page, as I'd renamed it. You can find all of the callers' material I've pulled together here: http://www.quiteapair.us/calling/ Thanks again, William P. S. Of course, with all of these articles newly found, I have lots of reading to do... ;-) -- wjw1961(a)gmail.com William J. Watson
