Re: [Callers] Ralph Page Style

Hi all, I was at a workshop recently where someone asked me if I liked "the Ralph Page style" of contra dance. They claimed that they had been told that he wanted dances to be slower and calmer. Is there a "Ralph Page style"? If so what is it? If he wanted the music slower, what speed did he want? Did he want it slower than the 130+bpm that square dancers used to use? Or slower than the 120bmp that is common now in contra? Thanks.
