[Callers] Ralph Sweet's Birthday Dance

by Rich Sbardella via Callers

Hello Friends, I am hosting/organizing a contra dance on Sunday evening, May 21st, to celebrate Ralph Sweet's 88th birthday. This is the last dance in Ralph's Shindig in the Barn series this season, and next season is not a certainty. Ralph's son Walter is part of a trio of musicians that will be providing the dance music. We are planning this dance as a tribute, and a thank you to Ralph for all he is to the dance community, and I am hoping for multiple callers to participate. If you are available, and would like to call a dance please send me a message. I can program in about 10 callers, and I will reserve slots on a first come, first serve basis. Please consider helping us to make this dance at Ralph's barn a celebration! Rich Sbardella Stafford, CT

[Callers] Looking for "A Great Catch"

by Linda S. Mrosko via Callers

A friend is looking for a dance called by Steve Zakon-Anderson and she believes it's called "A Great Catch." Her description, as she remembers it, is: "Ladies left allemande 1 1/2 and balance in a short wave with partner in R hand, Walk forward to new wave with your shadow in your R hand, Allemand R 1 1/4 with shadow to long lines, ladies facing out, men facing in, Slide to the right in front of your shadow and catch your partner for a swing, ?Circle to the left all the way around" Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -- *Looking forward,Linda S.

Re: [Callers] Ladies Chain to Allemande Left (Was: Does this dance already exist?)

by Robert Livingston via Callers

I didn't catch the difference, Don - see clearly now: a right pull by to a left arm turn move is a chain to and allemande of the same person. Yup! Bob From: Don Veino <sharedweight_net(a)veino.com> To: Robert Livingston <rlivngstn(a)yahoo.com> Cc: Don Veino via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, April 14, 2017 12:19 AM Subject: Re: [Callers] Ladies Chain to Allemande Left (Was: Does this dance already exist?) Hi Robert, I may be totally missing the point but, in Just Because, the chain and allemande are with *different* people. I agree that's a common bit of choreography with a well established history - particularly so in squares. In the dance I referenced (and how I interpreted - perhaps erroneously - the original request), the person you chain to and the person you allemande with are the *same* people, and the moves proceed directly from one to the other for more than a minor fraction (see below). I'm happy to let go any claim to uniqueness for this approach, should it matter. We all just add little bits to the foundations we've inherited. Thanks,Don Greenfield Tornado – Becket – Don Veino 20161218 A1 Left Diagonal Slice & Take to Gent’s Side (Neighbor Swing) [First time can be straight across Give & Take; Alternate A1 = Diagonal Circle Left 3/4, N Swing]A2 Ladies Chain (to P) Partner Allemande Left 1+1/2xB1 Full Hey, Gents Pass Right to startB2 Partner Balance & SwingEnd Effects: Wait out crossed over on Left Diagonal at ends.(Note: as covered in my blog post on this dance, the same sequence but for the A2 was independently done previously by Linda Leslie as her dance Greenfield Storm. I modified my dance title as shown to honor hers, once I became aware of it.)
