Re: [Callers] Rory slides and Box circulates

by Dugan Murphy via Callers

Hi Ron, I don't know of any dances with a Rory O'More figure and a box circulate in the same dance, but if you're looking for a Petronella figure and a Rory O'More figure in the same dance, check "Wave-Particle Duality" by Ryan Smith: http://www.twirlyshirts.com/dances/by-ryan/wave-particle-duality/.

Re: [Callers] Irish Contra Dances

by Don Heinold via Callers

Thanks to one and all for their inpu and support! Just what I needed. ~ Don From: Liz and Bill via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> To: John Sweeney <info(a)contrafusion.co.uk> Cc: John Sweeney via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net>; callers-request(a)lists.sharedweight.net Sent: Saturday, April 4, 2015 4:11 PM Subject: Re: [Callers] Irish Contra Dances Hi John and Don, The "English" people in the clip you mentioned are mostly Kiwis but close enough. That was taken at our monthly dance when we were joined by a contra tour from the USA and also John and Hilary Turner from the UK. We often get a large group of teens coming because I used to run barn dances for them. As a 'reward' for supporting the contra dance I usually have Waves of Tory for them half way. They are so 'good' at dipping and diving that they want it even faster than normal, so they form a set of 7 couples and dance double speed while the rest are dancing the 5 couple version to the 48 bar music. > English people dancing Waves of Tory: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1qtN-kw6Mg > > Note how the timing, styling, speed are all completely different, especially > on the Dip 'n' Dive - the Irish take their time, the English rush through > it. Scroll down the page http://christchurch.contradance.nz/past.html to February 2012 to see more the dances we ran at that time when we had the contra (and English) visitors. Cheers, Bill PS - Similar visits will happen Feb 2016, so NZ will be the place for contra gypsies. _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net
