Hi everyone, Thank you for all your suggestions and helpful tips. Just to emphasize-I am BOTH a square dancer AND a contra dancer, but so far only a contra caller. I love both! For different reasons. I've undertaken to call some contras for a local group. Our caller, who has been calling for over 50 years-he started when he was 9 years old-has never called contras and I have challenged him to start. He's accepted that challenge but says he's never called a program he hasn't danced. Since contra dance around here-southern Ontario-pretty much shuts down for the summer I'm filling a gap until the fall. I don't expect to make contra dancers of them, although if some of them get bitten by the bug.
