Thank you :)

 Thanks, Seth. I agree there’s a shortage of repertoire in that sweet spot
 around Family Contra/ Jefferson and Lincoln, etc, so I’ll be trying these
 dances out soon.

  Hello Callers

 Last Saturday I found myself at a dance that had a large number of first
 time dancers (50+) and a fair number of experienced dancers. This is a
 fascinating place to be - more than Galopede, but pre-Chain in teaching.
 Family Contra by Sherry Nevins is the canonical dance. (

 I was inspired to come up with 3 others. Have you seen any of these
 before? Are they simply re-writes of existing dances?

 Hi,

               I work with many groups that aren’t skilled in contra, so I
 wrote these. I hope some of them help.
