Of course there’s tons of material. If you’re newish to calling I would get comfortable
with a just one at first. How about:
Circle left, right
Allemande left corner, grand right and left.
swing P and promenade
Forward and back twice.
You can change the order of the above for variety. Just take a look at how the figure
ends and begins so it all flows well.
My experience is that the some of the dancers will reach their partners a beat or two
before the end of the phrase during the grand right and left. So I always say something
like “swing when your meet your own” rather than “when you meet your own swing”

Hi all,
I have been calling for about a 18 months now, mostly Contra, with a bit of ECD mixed in
for good measure. The one thing I haven’t tried yet is American format squares(chorus,
figure, figure, chorus, etc)! So, I have some square figures that I’d like to try, but I’m
a bit stuck on choruses. Has anyone got any good, interesting, but simple choruses that
can be easily done ‘on the call’?
Many Thanks,
Liam Binley.
