[Callers] Grid Squares Contra

Hi Everybody, I tried a simple grid contra that Bob Isaacs gave me at our dance last Saturday. It was a great success. It was easy to teach, and the dancers loved it. It's really more like calling a contra than a square. We didn't have a big grid as we only have 24 dancers, but the movement around the floor was still interesting for the dancers. I'd been in communication with Bob Isaacs after I saw the grid squares videos taken by David Millstone of the grids session at Dance Flurry. For a long time, I've been interested in the way such dances move people around the floor, so Bob's dances intrigued me. Here is a video of the dance we did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnXvIiDLYCQ My post of a few days ago was my attempt to get a thread going, but maybe I came across a bit snide. I'm sorry if I did, I was attempting a bit of humour by alluding to the previous post and my own 'geekiness'. Cheers, Bill
