Hi all,
I'm finally organizing my dance collection, cleaning up cards and paper scraps while entering into a newly acquired Caller's Companion program.
I have a 5 contras and one Triplet that have no name, or attribution. I've tried checking Caller's Box and CallerDB, and maybe I am just bad at it, but had no luck. All I know is that I wrote them down because I enjoyed dancing them. Any errors are my transcription, no intention to impugn Unknown's integrity as a caller.
Anyway, Louise Siddons suggested this group is good at this game, so, here goes:
(The program is set to use gender neutral terms, and copying and pasting is DANGEROUSLY easy!)
Any help is appreciated - even if it is "That dance doesn't work!!!"
