Re: [Callers] dances for 3 or 4 people

On Aug 12, 2008, at 3:09 PM, <gtwood(a)worldpath.net> <gtwood(a)worldpath.net If you have 5 dancers, consider Polka Dot: http://www.lloydshaw.org/Catalogue/CueSheets/Square/PolkaDot.htm See also http://www.strathspey.org/list/strathspey/archive/msg/43496/ which says, in part, I have an email from Tom Senior from 1999 on Polka Dot, Double Dot and Tantalus Jig, all three of them 5 person dances with the same starting arrangement and very similar figures. ------ With 4 dancers you can hash call all the 8-beat calls and call combinations that appear in contra dances and squares. Ladies Chain, Right & Left Thru, Dosado, arm turns, Heys, stars, circles, Pass Thru to a Wavy Line, Balance, Square Thru with balances on hands 2 & 4, Roll Away Box The Gnat. Use your imagination. Perhaps teach or make up a new cal; if you need it. ------ With 3 dancers things are getting thin. Perhaps teach a line dance? -- Clark Baker, Belmont, MA cmbaker(a)tiac.net
