[Callers] Re: Favourite Dances for Small Crowds

Interesting, I learned the Jack Turn Back as “The Cottontail Rag” by Steve Schnur. Now I wonder… It adapts well for 7 and ok with 9. Another trick I learned from Cammy Kaynor: 5 or 7 couples? Do double progression dances, that way you dance with everyone in the line and don’t wait out long. Then there’s the nine-pin, which I know has a codified version in Scotland dance collections, but I play with it: head couples star, side couples star, all four couples star, or heys or experiment. I’ve never called it as the first time a bunch of us danced it to Sandy Bradley’s calling: The Strip Nine-Pin, where when a new nine-pin is found the music stops and the new nine-pin has to take of one piece of clothes. Luckily no one lost a ring or earring… And we were outside in Oak Park in Santa Barbara (CA) back when the Harvest Moon Festival was held there.
