This is tangentially related to calling, but apparently the percentage of weddings hosted in barns has grown from 2% to 15% in the last decade ( https://tinyurl.com/ycbm9god). While the article doesn't specific that called dancing has increased as well, I'd be surprised if it hadn't. A decade ago is about when I started calling. I'd appreciate hearing from folks with longer records how they feel the prevalence of wedding gigs has shifted over time; and how that varies geographically. Although possibly the fluctuations are too large to get a decent signal out of the small sample size. From my own records: 2017: I had 14 One-Night-Stand gigs, and 1 of those was a wedding. 2016: I had 14 family level dances, and 4 of those were weddings. 2015: 10 ONS, 3 weddings. 2014: 14 ONS, 7 weddings 2013: 13 ONS, 2 weddings 2012: 4 ONS, 1 wedding As an aside, I really think the 15% of couples having their wedding party in a barn should be framed as a rebound from a longer historic decline. But if it's getting noticed and push-back from banquet hall trade groups, it may be coming to a close. -- Luke Donforth Luke.Donforth(a)gmail.com <Luke.Donev(a)gmail.com>

Re: [Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

by Alan Winston

Here's one of mine. Low piece count, promenade to chain is good flow. (I never totally love the "chain, look for new neighbors" because you either have to bail out of the courtesy turn to face new neighbor or complete the turn (now facing partner) and turn away to new neighbor, but it's common enough that it works. I think this really is easy enough for your busload of beginners. Low piece count, don't have to identify the neighbor who's dancing with your partner (like many oval dances). It does have a chain; sorry about that. CLAIRE'S REQUEST Alan Winston 11/17/2017 Form:IC Fig:NB&S;OvalL&R;BTR,PS;Prom,WC: A1: Neighbor balance and swing A2: Big Oval left and right B1: 1-2: With hands, balance ring in original foursome (keep the hand you've got with neighbor and take the free hand with your partner) 3-8: Ravens/ladies draw Partners to their side for a swing. B2: 1-4: Partners promenade to gents/larks side 5-8: Ladies/Ravens chain to current neighbor, look for new neighbor [But if you really don't want a chain even in the good flow from promenade situation, ladies/ravens allemand R 1.5 to new neighbor, which may be preferable given the courtesy turn problem mentioned above] -- Alan ] On 8/13/18 10:36 AM, Maia McCormick via Callers wrote: > Yep, Alex, I totally agree on the point of promenade (or RL thru, or > ladies' chain) > circle L not flowing great!

Re: [Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

by Rich Sbardella

I agree that calling a circle right after a promenade across, has better flow than a circle left, but I am reluctant to call a circle right in my first dance (unless it follows a circle left). I prefer to use the first dance to teach basic calls I will be using all night, and I believe that the body, or muscle, memory learned in that first dance will help the danceability all evening. Teaching them to circle right, when they will be circle left all evening, works against my goals. I do call dances with circle right, just not as part of my first few dances of the evening.

Re: [Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

by Alexandra Deis-Lauby

I find that there aren’t many dances with a Promenade or RL that are NOT followed by a circle left. When Dancing promenades to circle lefts, I don’t like them as an experienced dancer because they don’t feel good and as a caller I watch new dancers struggle with them because they don’t flow logically unless the dancers correct for it (which one won’t know how to do unless they’ve been dancing a very long time and are attuned to momentum.) Does anyone have dances with promenade or right and left throughs that flow into the next figure in a logical and satisfying way?

Yep, Alex, I totally agree on the point of promenade (or RL thru, or ladies' chain) > circle L not flowing great!

[Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

Running a quick search on ContaDB.com turns up 22 that have a promenade across, with no chain and no R&L through. One that does have a chain, but is still good as a glossary dance (as described in its note) is https://contradb.com/dances/599 Devin Pohly's 'Like I've Known You Forever'.
