... the 2007 Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend syllabus
contains a dance
titled "Jane's Contra" by Ken Bonner with a Dixie Twirl. The syllabus
lists the source as _Ken's Contras_ (published in the late 1980s, I
think)
Yup, 1988.
... The note Eric quoted from his card says that the
rightmost pair make
the arch. But I've usually heard callers instruct that the *center* pair
make the arch. [...] The description of "Jane's Contra" in the 2007 RPDLW
syllabus says that the centers make the arch. [...] However, RPDLW 2007
(presumably following Bonner) and Burleson both say that it's the couple
on the *right* who go under the arch, [...]
Bonner (in the Note for "Jane's Contra") says:
Dixie Twirl in A2:- in the line of 4 still facing down,
keeping hands held, 2's make arch in centre,
No. 1 man walk across to other side of set and
No. 1 lady go through arch to other side of set --
ALL KEEPING HANDS JOINED
