[Callers] Recognize this dance?

by Bree Kalb via Callers

This emerged as I was driving home Wednesday night listening to a Latter Day Lizards CD and thinking about needing some fairly simple, but interesting dances to call at an upcoming dance. I can’t find it in my collection of dances, but it’s so generic, I think someone else must have composed it and I was merely remembering. A 1 N DoSiDo; Swg A 2 LLF&B; Pass thru to an ocean wave (women take left hands); Balance the Wave B1 Women allmd Left 1/2; Ptr Swg B2 Circle L 3/4; Balance the ring, California Twirl Thanks!

[Callers] Dances with multiple swings- Trinity?

by Lindsey Dono via Callers

Hi all, I'm in the process of sorting through old dance notes, and found this: "Trinity? triple swing, double progression, Al Olson." If this is an existing dance, does anyone have the choreography? I'm also interested in finding other dances with more than two swings, especially swing-to-swing transitions.I have:Back from VermontString of SwingsCDS ReelMeg's a Dancing FoolTen Strings AttachedGang of FourNaked in CaliforniaAlexander's Swingtime Many thanks in advance!Lindsey(Tacoma, WA)

Re: [Callers] Dances with multiple swings- Swingaround

by jwcontrahands4 via Callers

I'm aware of one called Swingaround by Gene Hubert. It has an 8 beat neighbor swing at the beginning followed by the number two couples swinging in the middle followed by a same-sex swing followed by the ones swinging in the middle which leads to a line of four down the hall with the ones in the center. That's three swing-swing transitions. The dance is published online.

May the Fourth Be With You had three swings if I recall correctly.

I believe others have subsequently incorporated the swing, half hey, swing sequence into their dances, and those are likely to have three swings in them.

Re: [Callers] Contras for One Nighters

by Linda Thomas via Callers

I often introduce the concept of progression with Sanita Hill Circle (sicilian) by Ed Durlocher, where they don't change partners, but get the idea of moving on in the big circle with no end effects to worry about. Super-easy contras: Saturday Night Stroll by Mavis McGaugh Family Contra by Sherry Nevins. Back Road to Ayer by Lisa Greenleaf - an Improper contra with a traditional feel to it... and that one has always worked well for me Rural Felicity, by Dudley Laufman - Proper, traditional, is another no brainer and people always have fun with it, especially children. Linda Thomas Wilmington, NC 1. Re: Contras for One Nighters (Linda Mrosko via Callers) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 22:33:02 -0600 From: Linda Mrosko via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> To: Rich Sbardella <richsbardella(a)gmail.com> The closest I usually get to a contra-style is *DoSiThree*. Everybody gets the progression. The hardest part about that dance is getting them into a 3 face 3 position -- more particularly, a set of 3 people can be a challenging concept for some (you need lines of 3 people, you and two partners, etc.). Once they get in position, the rest of the dance works great. I prefer longways dances instead -- *Blobs* is a staple and *Brandy Rump Bump* for a younger crowd. Another contra dance that has worked well for me with a majority of beginners has been *Moonstruck* -- sliding left to progress to the next couple is easy for anybody to understand, you interact with your partner and your neighbor, and all you do is clapping, dosidos, circles, balancing and sliding to the next. One other is *French Wedding* - dosidos, 2-hand turns, circles, dig for the oyster/dive for the clam to the next. If I only have an hour, I don't call a contra. But if I have 2 hours, well...I don't know about you, but I like just a little variety.

[Callers] Does anyone have updated contact info for Colin Hume?

by Amy Cann via Callers

I have a phone message from him (about gigs in July) that says "My regular email isn't working, use kbg%mdhweue%$$%^ -- and the way his phone # displays doesn't work in the opposite direction. I've tried a bunch of combinations but they keep bouncing. If you've got a working cell number or a good email, cc this on or tell him to contact me at this address and give me the good stuff in writing? Thanks, Amy 802-22-7598
