Linda, thanks for bringing this topic up. It sounds like might have
a good collection of English village dances in your collection. I
think they're perfect for that group. John is correct, get them
moving right away.
I realize that the thread is super easy dances but I'd like to throw
out another idea.
Maybe it's time to train them. I don't think you can get them to be
as quiet as you want but maybe you can get them to be quiet when
you're teaching. Those new to calling might want to think about
demos, making sure that there's a payoff for being quite and
watching. The payoff/reward could be showing them a cool move or a
fun way to dance a particular sequence etc. etc. And if you can get
them to laugh during the demo that's even better.
Thanks to everyone for the dances. We are fortunate to have so many
talented contraographers.
