Re: [Callers] Favorite dance to teach a ladies chain?

Interesting approach John. I'd personally hesitate to introduce both chain and a hey in the same dance for mostly new dancers. Do you draw an extensive parallel of the motion on the floor for the ladies? As for apostrophes; well, contra I'm willing to teach. English, I've just about given up on learning it, let alone teaching it ;-) Yoyo, I like how you look at where they can enter the next move if they're late. The difference between trying to get into a star versus trying to get into long lines for accessibility; I think that's a good lens. The sequence you jotted would be pretty forgiving. But I wonder about becket vs improper. Do you use a lot of becket dances with brand new dancers? They're (in my opinion) closer to the circle of couples that are often used as beginner lessons. Going from circle of couples to becket to improper over the course of a couple dances could segue a new crowd.
