Re: [Callers] Grand Square in a contra?

by Chris Page via Callers

The popular four-face-four is "Grand Square Contra" There's also "McQuillen Fancy" by Tony Saletan "Bloom One" by Al Olson "To Hans T" by Birgit Rasmussen "To Torsten" by Birgit Rasmussen There's a grid square by Bob Isaacs called "Grand Square Grid". There's some contras that try and give the feel of Grand Square: Bases Loaded Fatal Attraction (Ravitz) Mini Grand Swing (Hemphill) Petite Square Contra (Tom Senior) Square Off Reel (Gaudreau) To Mette T (Rasumussen) -Chris Page San Diego

Re: [Callers] Grand Square in a contra?

by Bob Isaacs via Callers

Hi Luke: You may be thinking of: Grand Square Contra Jacob Bloom 4 x 4 A1. 8 Lines forward and back 8 Corner swing – form square A2. 16 Sides face grand square B1. 16 Reverse grand square B2. 4,4 Heads pass through, sides pass through 8 Partner swing I don't see how you can have a grand square in a contra without it being a 4 x 4. But if you come up with a way, let us know - Bob Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 17:05:45 -0400 To: callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net Subject: [Callers] Grand Square in a contra? From: callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net Hi Folks, Several years ago (2013?) while at the fabulous DEFFA festival in Maine, I danced a contra that had a grand square. I think it was on the diagonal. But that's about all I remember about it. Anyone know the dance? Or can give me more of a lead like the caller or such? I don't think it was a 4x4. I'm not sure if it had the full 16 beats one way, then reverse and 16 beats the other way; because that'd be half the dance... Now that I'm thinking about it, as a 4x4 with a full grand square and still following somewhat typical 4x4 conventions: A1 Lines of 4 go forward and back Corner Swing A2 Grand Square: Heads start forward, sides split B1 Reverse: sides start forward, heads split B2 Option 1: Heads pass straight through, sides pass straight through; find partnerOption 2: Pass new corner right, next left; find partnerOption 3: Gents left hand star promenade with corner, ladies go ~1/2, turn back to partner partner swing, face line of direction I'm now really confident it wasn't a 4x4 contra, but I still don't remember what it was. Any help would be appreciated. If I can't find it I may try it as a 4x4, but it seems like you'd be further ahead with a simple square to have a little more variety than just grand square and two swings...

[Callers] 24th of June

by Richard Hopkins via Callers

FWIW: June 24 is the feast day of St John the Baptist, patron saint of Quebec. So June 24 is Quebec's national holiday, bigger there than Canada Day a week later. (Camped last night in a state park in the Adirondacks, full of Québécois enjoying a long weekend....).

Re: [Callers] Rorys + Grand R+L?

by Yoyo Zhou via Callers

Oh, Hi Turtle! by Emily Rush has some Rory O'More followed by some grand right and left (right, left, allemande right, left): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hmanTMdXRM P.S. it's not obvious that you wanted to also grand right and left the other way back, because e.g. in a square dance you often only go one way.
