New subject: Contra Madness

19 Apr 2014

Hi Bill,
Found this in Dizzy Dances Vol. II.....all comments are Gene's ... There are more
notes, but I think this will be enough.  Enjoy NEFFA ... always a good party.

A1 Down the center, 4 in line, actives in center
      Don't turn around, just back up a few steps and actives arch while      
inactives  go under to meet a new couple
A2 Do-si-do the one you meet, then pass by and swing the next
B1 pass thru across the set (right shoulders with partner), turn alone (8)
     Right and left thru across the set with the convenient one (8)
B2 Lines go forward and back (8)
      Actives swing in the middle

"The progressions are pretty much automatic. The pass thru followed by a right and
left thru in B1 is a progression not seen much in traditional style contrast. The
convenient one is, for the lady, the gent on your left, and for the gent it is the lady on
your right."

 A bunch of years ago I loaned out a bunch of my
contradance books to an aspiring caller, she gave them to someone else, then they started
making the rounds.. When I got them back MANY years later, they weren't all there and
specifically both my Dizzy Dances booklets by Gene Hubert. Should've figured... hee
hee..

Anyway, I'm doing a set of dances at NEFFA next weekend with varying numbers of
progressions.. And I'd sort of like to look at Contra Madness, a quadruple progression
dance by "the master"!

Not looking for any other suggestions, just that one dance.. thanks!!
