30 year jig - Contra Callers

12 Jul 2009

I spaced out when I wrote my earlier e-mail.  I was thinking that the  
balance would be after beat 16 in the B2 of 30 year jig.  It would  
actually be after beat 8.  So, the dancers would be able to hear  
where to balance after all.  It's while they are swinging that the  
melody is a bit crazy.  It also occured to me that the beginning of  
the hey would occur where the melody is crazy as well but this  
shouldn't be such a big problem.

 HI Chris,
 Nils Fredland called "Major Hey" for us at a Rochester dance and it  
 was a
 blast!
 Needs some experienced dancers to keep it together:

 Double Becket, 40 Bar
 A1: Circle 3/4, Pass thru and Swing the one you meet
 A2: Lines F&B
         Gents Allemande Left 1+1/2 to waves of 8 (partner in right  
 hand)
 B1: Balance R, L, Slide R
        Balance L, R, Slide L, face partner (looking along lines of  
 8 across
 hall)
 B2: Hey for 8 (Partner by right, ...)
 C:    Balance and Swing Partner

 There's a shadow couple in the hey, and if the hall is crowded,  
 have people
 "tag" at the end of the hey, so the next person knows not to  
 continue into
 the
 next set!

  Hey,

 A band I'm working with would like to play their favorite 40 bar jig
 (AA=8+8 plus BB=12+12) at a dance sometime. I was wondering if anyone
 had dances for this format and what their experience was calling  
 them.

 Thanks,
 Chris Weiler
