With all my gigs canceled for however long, I've decided to start offering online caller classes at the introductory and intermediate levels over the next couple weeks. Perhaps some of you would like to take this virus-mandated downtime to do some professional development! Would this interest you or someone you know? Here are the offerings: - Calling 101: An introduction for contra dancers with no calling experience (http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops/calling101-online ) - Challenging Dancers Just Enough: A class for active callers about complexity in contra choreography ( http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops/caller-class-complexity-onli… ) - Utilizing Variety: A class for active callers about using variety in choreography and musical moods to take dancers on an experiential journey ( http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops/caller-class-variety-online) - Picking Good Dances: A class for active callers about identifying good dances and avoiding bad ones ( http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops/caller-class-good-dances-onl… ) They are listed together here: http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops At the links above you can find descriptions of each online class and online registration for each one. I hope to see some of you there! Dugan Murphy Portland, Maine (he/him) dugan at duganmurphy.com www.DuganMurphy.com www.PortlandIntownContraDance.com
