Hi All,
I've been looking at a couple of simple simple contras.
One is Jefferson and Liberty (below) and the other is Taking Liberties with Jefferson.
I do like the fact that the stars are in Taking Liberties. However, in my somewhat limited calling career, I've haven't found that swings in the middle/across the set have really worked well in contras.  (Can get away with in in longways dances but contras are a bit tighter).
I just don't get enough calling practice to be testing this stuff out a lot.
I'm looking for other perspectives on this!  What do you think?
Thanks!
