Here's a dance I like to call especially when it's hot. If anyone knows the name
of the dance and the composer please let me know.
A1, A2 In a ring of four balance. Pet. spin. Repeat three more times.
B1 Circle left. Swing neighbor
B2 Forward and back. Actives swing.
I usually do this one early in the evening (maybe the 3rd dance). Having done
the Pet. spins, the dancers can usually handle a higher level dance with the same
spins.

Hey Everyone:
A friend and I were thinking about starting a contra dance in Chesterfield,
New Hampshire. Chesterfield is about 10-15 minutes West of Keene, New
Hampshire and about 10-15 minutes East of Brattleboro, Vermont. We were
thinking about having the dance on Thursday nights at the Chesterfield Town
Hall. We were thinking that Thursday nights would be a good time, because we
would not have to compete with the Friday and Saturday night dances, and the
only other contra dance would be Cambridge. As anyone who does not live in
the Greater Boston Area knows that the trip to Cambridge can be a long one,
especially on a Thursday night.
I would hope that we could gear the dance so that it would have a nice balance
of traditional and modern contra dance styles, to appeal to the more
traditional dances in New Hampshire and also the more modern dances of
Greenfield, MA.
Any comments or feedback would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Jeff
