Re: [Callers] Waltz-Time Contra Choreography

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area I don't think I've ever seen a waltz contra done. (I love waltz country dances, I do them in English dancing pretty often, and I'd be happy to call the occasional one if I thought I could sell it.) So my questions are: Are waltz contras commonly done in your area? What area is that? Do you remember when they started being done? How did callers introduce them initially?
