if you love squares - it was dance heaven!
reminded me why I fell in love with danceing as a
teenager - they did all those wonderful squares
interspersed with cirecles and longways.

Hello everyone,
Once again, frigid New Hampshire was home to another
warm and special
Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend. It was great to see
people from all
over the country who came to dance and learn. The
SharedWeight lunch
gatherings were a couple of the high points for me.
We had fascinating
discussions about style, teaching, stubborn minded
dancers, stubborn
minded callers, psychology, choreography and so much
more.
Both Beth Parkes and Nils Freidland's caller's
workshops made us think
and philosophize this year. Beth's on what it means
to be a
"professional" caller. And Nil's on why we dance,
why we call and what
virtues we want and need to bring to the stage with
us.
The retrospective video about Ralph Sweet by David
Millstone was great!
Fun and funny and informative, David again shows his
talent for
storytelling.
It would be great to hear from other people about
their favorite parts.
It was great to see everyone who came!
Happy Dancing!
Chris Weiler
