I planned to use this to introduce contra corners to a mixed crowd during this evenings dance. While I'm searching though my notes I thought I'd post to group. Already tried what I could searching on line. I can't remember the author, I believe the dance name begins with Microcosmic. I know many of you have already left for the weekend, but here's hoping...

In that dance, the minor set of three couples has turned 90 degrees, so it'smuch easier to identify corners than in a duple minor in long lines, where the twos must be both first and second corners.

I'll look at the dances you mentioned. I thought of Ann's dance because it was simple to remember (duh) and easy to call.

What is the dance? An easy dance using contra corners would be useful. I'm aware of some of those triplets. I've not been able to find it with google. (Note googling "microchasmic dance" finds "representing a microchasmic portion within the infinite spectrum of hues that decide our ... Thin, scaly fingers dance across the cooling flesh" which might be a good story line for a dance, but it's not a contra site).

I did it this evening, there were a number of people who were new enough to not have encountered 'contra cornerS' and I taught it so newer caller would not have "fresh meat" when she tried to teach her dance later in the evening. --- Liz and Bill <staf186(a)ext.canterbury.ac.nz> wrote: ~~ ~ What the heart has once owned.....it shall never lose. ~ ~ Henry Ward Beecher~ ~~ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

I was quite enlightened by my personal google encounter. Its called Microchasimic by Ann Fallon My mentor, Mike Clark, uses this dance in an evening where they'll be a contra corner dance for a mixed crowd. Its interesting enough for those who know the move, but in its intimate setting clear enough for the newer dancer to understand and be successful with. I did it this evening, there were a number of people who were new enough to not have encountered 'contra cornerS' and I taught it so a newer caller would not have "fresh meat" when she tried to teach her dance later in the evening. Its also easy to remember. I know blah blah blah. Here's the dance: Proper/ 3x3/ longways Forward and Back Partner Do-si-do (all) Actives (in the middle) Contra corners EVERYONE balance and swing Partner Face up to the music Peel the Banana Top couple arch all dive through Actives are now tops, tops bottoms, new actives (1,3,2) --- Liz and Bill <staf186(a)ext.canterbury.ac.nz> wrote: ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Shouldn't the comment about the progression be (2,3,1)?

Yes.

How do the actives get into the middle?
