New subject: Fw: Contras for One Nighters

5 Mar 2016

For me the absolute, guaranteed never to fail contra (as opposed to a longways dance such
as Gallopede), is Jefferson and Liberty.  I assume it's derived from a traditional
dance of the same name created in Colonial times.

Jefferson and Liberty (duple,no need to worry about who's on which side)
A.1. Circle 4 left and right ("It doesn't matter if you get all the way to the
left as long as you finish where you started.")A  2.  Star right and left (Same
instruction.)B. 1.  Ones down the outside and back.B.2.  Down the center, 4 in line, ones
in the middle.  Ones make an arch, twos duck under ("Twos take hands with your
partner so you don't lose each other!")  Everybody comes back up the set,
everybody look to the nexy couple..
If they're able, you can suggest that the ones not turn around to come back up the
set, but come backwards so they can get acquainted with their new neighboring couple.

 Subject: [Callers] Contras for One Nighters

I rarely call a contra at a One Night Party Dance, but occasionally I am asked to.  I have
a few in my cards, but can anyone make some sure fire recommendations.
Assume 95%-100% non dancers.
Thanks, RichStafford, CT
