Hello all,
I live in a small town called Luck in Northwestern Wisconsin. I would like to
start a monthly or bimonthly contra dance here. I have only been to a few
contra dances, I don't know any dances, and certainly don't have any experience
as a caller. I know a band who I think is well capable and interested in
playing the music, but we don't know of anyone in the area that is familiar with
or could lead a contra dance. So my questions are two:
Does anyone know of anyone in the Polk county area capable of being a caller?
if not
How can a complete beginner like me learn the system and enough dances to become
a caller? Are there any books, resources, workshops, etc. that would help me?
Anything to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jonathan
