Re: [Callers] Dance length

That  would be great!  Hope you can share the ones that work  well with us,  with  his permission,  of course. At a dance we rarely have that  few  people left, but for an informal gathering I'm always  looking for ways to keep people on the floor. laur --- On Thu, 5/13/10, Richard Hart <rich(a)harts.mv.com> wrote: From: Richard Hart <rich(a)harts.mv.com> Subject: Re: [Callers] Dance length To: "Caller's discussion list" <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Date: Thursday, May 13, 2010, 12:58 AM I usually consider 5 couple a minimum for a regular contra dance, but triples like Money Musk require more people. A caller up here, Byron Ricker, has been writing a few dances that he calls "quad beckets."  Quad becket dances are becket dances that can be danced with 4 or more couples and that never leaves anyone out (unless there are an odd number of couples). Many, but not all becket dances work this way.  With just 4 couples left, I've sometimes called a quad becket with some success. Rich.
