Re: [Callers] Any Good Contra Videos on the Internet?

Hello All, I'm trying to start a contra dance series 90 miles from the nearest regular contra dances. When someone asks me what contra dance looks I know that verbal descriptions can only go so far, and even snapshots don't really tell the story. One person has trusted me enough to make the 90-mile drive, but I know most folks aren't willing to do that. What I'd really like is to point them to a contra video that is simple and clean, showing one line from a caller's perspective. A contra with good lighting, good music and simple calling. And I'd love for that video to be freely available on the Internet. I've found a few contra videos on YouTube, but most are shot from the floor and so it's very hard to get a feel for the set. The few I've seen shot from a balcony have a very jerky, hand-held feel. I know I may be asking for something that does not exist, in which case perhaps a contest could be held for a video that "captures" contra for a person who has never seen or danced contra. Any suggestions? -- Jerome Grisanti 660-528-0858 660-528-0714 http://www.jeromegrisanti.com _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
