Re: [Callers] Grand Square in a contra?

Hi Folks, Several years ago (2013?) while at the fabulous DEFFA festival in Maine, I danced a contra that had a grand square. I think it was on the diagonal. But that's about all I remember about it. Anyone know the dance? Or can give me more of a lead like the caller or such? I don't think it was a 4x4. I'm not sure if it had the full 16 beats one way, then reverse and 16 beats the other way; because that'd be half the dance... Now that I'm thinking about it, as a 4x4 with a full grand square and still following somewhat typical 4x4 conventions: A1 Lines of 4 go forward and back Corner Swing A2 Grand Square: Heads start forward, sides split B1 Reverse: sides start forward, heads split B2 - Option 1: Heads pass straight through, sides pass straight through; find partner - Option 2: Pass new corner right, next left; find partner - Option 3: Gents left hand star promenade with corner, ladies go ~1/2, turn back to partner partner swing, face line of direction I'm now really confident it wasn't a 4x4 contra, but I still don't remember what it was. Any help would be appreciated. If I can't find it I may try it as a 4x4, but it seems like you'd be further ahead with a simple square to have a little more variety than just grand square and two swings...
