[Callers] Re: Seeking dances with turning contra corners

Here is another alternating dance, although just with normal contra corners. Pearl Anniversary Peter Foster 4 Feb 2025 (our 30th anniversary!) Duple improper, alternating dance A1 (8) Mirror dosido neighbour 1+1/4, 1s through the middle. Finish in a line of 4 facing down, 1s in the middle (8) Down the hall, turn alone A2 (8) Return, bend the line and face across (8) 2s half figure 8 down through the 1s B1 (16) 2s turn contra corners B2 (16) 2s balance and swing, finish facing up C1 (8) Mirror dosido neighbour 1+1/4, 2s through the middle. Finish in a line of 4 facing up, 2s in the middle (8) Up the hall, turn alone C2 (8) Return, bend the line and face across (8) 1s half figure 8 up through the 2s D1 (16) 1s turn contra corners D2 (16) 1s balance and swing, finish facing down When returning from the down/up the hall, wait until the very end to bend the line, so that the end people can smoothly flow into the half figure 8. If people face across too early, they may lose the flow and be unsure as to who is supposed to do the half figure 8.

Utah Ree, Double Trouble and men at the End all satisfy my request quite excellently I think Utah Reel is the one I have danced with Will Mentor calling. When calling one of these, I would suggest having those turning contra corners to think of their corners as 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base and home plate On Tue, Aug 26, 2025 at 12:30 AM Peter Foster 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 _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
