Hi all,
I am planning some workshops, for festivals here in the UK, with the title
"Flow & Glide Contras: Dances with beautiful flow, connectivity and a
smooth, satisfying glide." (Thanks to Sarah VanNorstrand and no doubt many
others for the title!)
I have lots of ideas already, but am always interested in finding great
dances that I am not familiar with.
If you don't mind sharing, please let me know your favourite ONE or TWO
contras that fit this description.
I know you asked for one or two, but it's always hard to pick
favorites. My suggestions are
Reel to Reel (Cary Ravitz)
Uncle Toby's Picnic (the variation with square thru 3 hands; multiple authors)
Crow Flight (Rick Mohr)
Judah Jig (Charlie Fenton)
These are dances with good flow, good connection (hand or eye), and
interesting smooth transitions, and they're also fun.
