Mine looks like this: Gypsy Chase Joy Greenwolfe, March 2006Improper A1 Long lines forward and back (8) Gents Allemande L 1.5 (8)A2 Gents pick up partner, Star Promenade, Butterfly Whirl (4,4) Ladies lead 1/2 a Hey (LR, NL, GR, P) (8)B1 Partner Balance & Swing (16) (Ladies’ original side)B2 Gypsy Chase - Ladies gypsy by the R shoulder x1 while Gents fall in behind Neighbor to chase her half way to the other side. Neighbor Swing (8) Gypsy Chase Revisited is in Becket with the partner and neighbor interaction reversed.

I was informed by the sage that is Chris Page, that the dance below is very similar to Joy Greenwolfe's dance "The Gypsy Chase", Joy could you confirm and share your dance?

If you start from the common man-on-the-left, woman-on-the-right, and circle left 3/4, the women have swapped sides. Easiest fix is to have the women swap sides again somewhere else. -Chris Page San Diego, CA On Sun, Sep 18, 2016 at 2:34 PM, Don Veino via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > > On Sun, Sep 18, 2016 at 4:54 PM, Rich Sbardella via Callers > <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: >> >> Is this unique to my collection or this generally true of contra dances? > > > I've had a similar observation (not in my deck necessarily but also from the > dance programs I encounter on the floor) - in many cases the Ladies are the > ones getting the run around/doing the most "single role" action.

I haven't done the percentages, but to me it seems the Gents' same role action is typically limited to allemandes. This is something I've been using to inform my own dance compositions, creating either more even or Gents-heavy dances (featuring other moves) which could balance things out in aggregate. -Don

Re: [Callers] Dance Variety

by Ric Goldman - Letsdance via Callers

I would say my collection tends to involve more Gents in the center, often coming out of a swing, going into an allemande L 1-1/2, to swing on the other side, but that’s just an empirical feeling because I notice having to pull dances from a program if too many have that transition. Thanx, Ric Goldman Portland, OR From: Callers [mailto:callers-bounces@lists.sharedweight.net] On Behalf Of Rich Sbardella via Callers Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2016 1:54 PM To: Caller's discussion list <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Subject: [Callers] Dance Variety As I programed my dance evenings for this weekend, I noticed that close to 80% of my dance cards have just the Ladies in the center doing something, About 10% have the Gents going in, and the remaining 10% or so have both the Lady and the Gent, or neither the Lady or the Gent going in. My observations consider a Hey and Half hey as neutral, and as such I did not include the hey in my estimations. However if the hey was set up by an allemande or chain, those basics were considered. Is this unique to my collection or this generally true of contra dances? Rich Sbardella Stafford, CT
