Re: [Callers] What is the best contra dance(s) ever written?

It's hard to single out any particular dance since so much depends on the music and the partners. I could have a massively peak dance experience doing a completely generic dance if my partner and I were really in tune with each other and the room and if the band was cooking. Likewise, the best dance in the world wouldn't be able to make up for a partner or line who weren't getting it, or a band that was struggling. That being said, I'm paying a lot of attention to the dances folks are singling out here. It's always good to hear recommendations. So I can't speak to its objective perfection or lack thereof, but I had a fantastic time with Joel's In The Kitchen (Sue Rosen) at the Petaluma contra a few weeks back. KGB was playing and I had an excellent partner (thanks, Dan!). So that one's a standout for me at the moment. Kalia
