[Callers] Re: Totally open question: what's a "quadrille" ?

Amy, My interpretation is that a quadrille is a square prompted in the New England tradition. In the modern western tradition few callers use this method, but I was taught by New England caller Dick Leggier who composed many promoted 'quadrille" figures to use in the MWSD environment. This is still my method of calling squares in the club scene. I am not sure why I understand it that way. Word of mouth is a contributor, but also older publications like Sets in Order often referred to many of these simple 64 step dances as quadrilles. Here's one Jerry Helt called by from Tony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9d46BSqRLI Rich Rich On Fri, Feb 21, 2020 at 12:26 PM Amy Cann via Contra Callers < contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote: _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
