There is some precedent for political dances .... Jefferson & Liberty along with its derivatives are still danced in some places. I'm sure there must be others, but as an aspiring caller I don't know of any recent examples.

[Callers] New dance?

by Amy Wimmer via Callers

While preparing to teach the beginners' session for tonight's dance in Olympia, WA, I jotted down several figures I could teach that would be simple enough, flow reasonably well and get them dancing. I looked at my list and said, "Huh! This looks like an actual dance." I was missing one figure to complete it. Today, while waiting for our caucus to begin, I decided on the final figure. My caller/musician friend, Valerie Cohen, who was sitting next to us, said I should call it the Caucus Shuffle. I said I was planning to call it "Feelin' the Bern," to which she responded, "Then it should progress left." You're welcome. I think the dance works whether one starts at A1 or A2. Starting at A2 would end with a partner swing, which is always nice at the end of the evening. At any rate, here's the dance. My questions are, 1) does this already exist? and 2) do you see any major problems with it? Feelin' the Bern Becket, improper contra A1 Partner swing (16) A2 Long lines forward and back (8) Mad robin (ladies go in front) (8) B1 Circle right 3 places (~8) New neighbors star right (8) B2 Neighbor allemande right (8) Half hey (gents pass left), ladies ricochet (8) -Amy P.S. I'm going to call it tonight, but not for the beginner session. I'll start by having everyone shuffle, single-file, around the oval of the set, until they return to where they started.

Re: [Callers] Calling and timing

by Jeff Kaufman via Callers

Can you give some examples of places where you think calling early for direction isn't compatible with calling for timing? (I had thought that the caller should always end their call the beat before the action should begin, teaching timing from the start and avoiding misleading experienced dancers.)

Re: [Callers] Thoughts on B2/A1 swings and having time to flourish

by Erik Hoffman via Callers

On the 16-count swing. It can be totally enjoyable, but usually for experienced dancers. For a group of mostly beginners, even a 12-count swing can be a bit much. So, if I’m calling to a substantially beginning group, I’d turn it into a do-si-do and swing. I’ll even turn a balance & swing into a DSD & swing. I went through a short phase of changing endings to end a dance with a swing. Now, I just try to stay out of the way of the band. I much prefer them doing the big wind-up or the occasional fade-out and surprise the dancers. So I’ve stopped trying to advertise my presence by calling the last time through. But, if a dance starts with a partner swing, I often ask the band to pick a last-tune-in-the-set that permits them to play three B parts the very last time though the dance. This lets the band do a big wind-up, me keep my mouth shut, and still end the dance with that A1 partner swing. ~erik hoffman oakland, ca On the starting with a partner From: Callers [mailto:callers-bounces@lists.sharedweight.net] On Behalf Of tavi merrill via Callers Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2016 5:39 PM To: callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net; callers-request(a)lists.sharedweight.net Subject: [Callers] Thoughts on B2/A1 swings and having time to flourish … A 16-count swing does go on forever. But it is also awesome - and i mean truly awesome - to have a full 12-count swing plus 4 counts to pull off one of the more time consuming flourishes (like the ripcord twirl, seen in the wild here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVpR6SxWsM4&list=RDIVquC0jqCXs&t=2m2s and taught here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbyoOPc0rHQ, one of my favorite swing ending flourishes but one that takes too much time to be executed in an 8-count swing window). I know attitudes on twirls vary, so i should state clearly my opinion: i think flourishes, while neither traditional nor intrinsic to our dance form, add a lot to contra when they are executed safely, consensually, and in a manner mindful of the foursome and set as a whole. That to me implies that when and how to use twirls well - and how to time them - can be a potential style point when dances allow for them, particularly where a 16-count swing may bore or tire dancers, yet allows plenty of time to flourish and arrive on time for the next move. We could, as choreographers, maybe even write more 16-count swings for use with the crowds that love to flourish. Less subtle: If you're calling a 16-count swing, why not point out to the dancers there's no excuse for arriving late after a flourish? The A1 placement of the partner swing in Amy's dance "Feelin' the Bern" also appeals to me for a quite specific reason. Some callers are of a mind that every dance should end with a swing, while others (this camp including myself) feel that getting back on the microphone to change the final B to accomplish that is bad form, but do appreciate the elegance of being with or at least aimed toward your partner at the end of a dance and try to facilitate that effect when possible, and others don't give a crap about where dancers are facing when the music stops. (NOTE: This is to acknowledge the various camps, not to launch a thread on which approach is better!!!) Flowing from this, i fully support A1 partner swings, because it's another way to accomplish the aimed-toward-partner-when-dance-ends thing that doesn't involve an A1 circle L or slide. ;-) On a slightly different but related note: As i work to assemble a DJ repertoire of contradanceable EDM, i've noticed that many remixes are perfectly contra-ready save for a "build to drop" element that occurs in the music where the B2 ends, in effect adding from 4 to 8 counts to the B2 but usually only once through. Rather than re-working the track to eliminate the build/drop element, which would create the feeling something substantial is missing, I'm toying with the notion of pairing such material with B2 swings so dancers get a slightly longer swing during that iteration of the dance. Thinking getting back on microphone to say "keep swinging" and then prompt the A1 with recorded music isn't such bad form. Open to feedback on that. I'd appreciate if folks keep responses to this message positive/constructive in tone (vis-a-vis argumentative or dismissive) as i've been super depressed lately and positivity helps. Hope you all are having a good holiday weekend whether you're celebrating Easter or recovering from a raucous Purim or burning off all those Newroz treats or still doing laundry after Holi (did i get them all?!)

Re: [Callers] Thoughts on B2/A1 swings and having time to flourish

by tavi merrill via Callers

Precisely. What Jeff says here is to me much more than an aside as it helps define and clarify my thoughts around the main point i was trying to make. Dancers are accustomed to swinging for anywhere from 8 to 12 counts (as a balance and swing is 16, minus the 4 counts a balance takes), thus a swing longer than 12 counts feels too long. "Counting from the end" is nigh impossible, as we get wrapped up in the experience of the swing and it's mostly those who are well-developed musicians and/or who know contra tunes by heart that can pick up on where in the musical phrase they are without counting and thus judge how far from the end of the phrase they are and correctly time the initiation of a 4-count flourish. But in the event that a 16-count swing happens, the moment when it suddenly feels like too long a swing (that moment where we pass 12 counts MAY be perceptible to everyone, not just musicians, because we're conditioned to swinging for no more than 12 counts) could perhaps become the cue to initiate a 4-count flourish and magically arrive on time. It's just a hypothesis based on dancer behavior and my experience as a caller and musician, but it may bear testing out. I'd be curious to hear how an experiment goes if someone calls 16 count swings where dancers have been instructed to initiate 4-count ending flourishes the moment they feel they've swung for a normal amount of time. (Might just try running that experiment myself at a May 7 workshop i'm co-leading.)

Re: [Callers] Thoughts on B2/A1 swings and having time to flourish

by Jeff Kaufman via Callers

Hmm, I think I've seen people be late with it on twice count swings too? My interpretation is more like, when dancers are starting to learn swing ending flourishes the "counting from the end" to end things on time is hard, and they tend to be late a lot. The longer the flourish they're trying to lead, the longer in advance they need to start it and the less likely they are to leave enough time?

Re: [Callers] Thoughts on B2/A1 swings and having time to flourish

by tavi merrill via Callers

Needs 4 counts (8 beats) to be executed well. My experience is that using it on 8-count swings makes a lot of people late, because most aren't willing to cut the swing off early enough to fit the twirl in without being late. Hence the usefulness of 16-count swings / utility of flourishes to 16-count swings, which i see as a reciprocal relationship.
