Years ago I remember dancing a dance that had a full contra corners in it. The active dancers had four corners to turn instead of two. I think the caller called the move sharp corners. Does anyone have any of these dances they could share? I'm particularly interested in dances with this move that have been written in the last 40 years or so. Tom

I have this one by Al Olson, but it is for three facing three, rather than duple formation. Is this the type of dance you had in mind, Tom? Linda Four Corners Al Olson Type: Other Formation: Three face three Level: Int-Adv A1 ----------- Centers turn all your corners (usual corners for A1) A2 ----------- cont Contra Corners with trio partners* B1 ----------- All opposite Balance and Swing (return to original side) B2 ----------- Circle 6 one-half in trios Circle left about 3/4** Notes: *those doing contra corners will move ccw around to each corner ** at this point, trios can decide who will be the center person.

Linda, I know this dance, and have danced it. Great dance! The only other one I can think of is a Ron Buchanan square, but I can't tell you the name of it or the figures but it's an awesome dance. Very advanced.

I suspect that the dance names are not helpful without the sequence or a link to the sequence Michael Fuerst 802 N Broadway Urbana IL 61801 217-239-5844 ________________________________ From: Chris Page <chriscpage(a)gmail.com> To: Caller's discussion list <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 11:10 AM Subject: Re: [Callers] sharp corners Walpole Cottage by Pat Shaw.

I think it's enough to send the dance titles; most of us are able to do an internet search for the details, then ask if they can't be found. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Fuerst Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 12:29 PM To: Caller's discussion list Subject: Re: [Callers] sharp corners I suspect that the dance names are not helpful without the sequence or a link to the sequence Michael Fuerst 802 N Broadway Urbana IL 61801 217-239-5844 ________________________________ From: Chris Page <chriscpage(a)gmail.com> To: Caller's discussion list <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 11:10 AM Subject: Re: [Callers] sharp corners Walpole Cottage by Pat Shaw.
