[Callers] Re: Rights and Lefts

Hi Rich, Some options: Half Promenade x2 First Corners Cross; Second Corners Cross x2 Full Poussette This is not from the period, but may be useful to get some of the concepts across: https://youtu.be/Zuas_3MVcv4 Lots more about Right & Lefts here: https://contrafusion.co.uk/RightAndLeft.html Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent *From:* Rich Sbardella via Contra Callers < contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; *Sent:* 07 November 2025 16:07 *To:* Contra Callers &lt;contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; *Subject:* [Callers] Rights and Lefts I am tasked with calling a Colonial Dance with mostly novices. Most of the dances I have are Triple Minors and contain Rights and Lefts. I am converting the dances to Duple Minors in most cases, or perhaps to a Triplet if need be. I have two questions. Do you have a favorite replacement for the 16 count Rights and Lefts that will leave dancers facing their new neighbors? Do you have any Regency period or colonial flavored dances for a group of novice dancers? Thanks!
