Hi all,
I'm re-vamping my list of simple contra dances for new callers, and am in search of a
very particular sort of becket dance. The list is one of my hand-outs for callers'
classes at camps, so the folks who'll be using it are likely to be nervous, brand-new
callers. To that end, I'm looking for sturdy, hard-to-break, low-piece-count dances.
In a perfect world they'd be composed of simpler glossary figures.
I already have a fair collection of simple dances to choose from, but would like to
include one more becket dance (I have Tica Tica Timing already on the list). This perfect
becket that I'm looking for should _not_ start with circle L 3/4, and should not
contain petronella twirls. Bonus points if it doesn't have a whole hey, since
I've already got a couple of whole hey dances in the list.
Hi Kalia,
Here are two easy dances that may look similar at first glance but are actually pretty
different:
1. Hot Buttered Rolls
Perry Shafran
A1:
slice left, rollaway P on the way back (ladies)
long lines forward, rollaway P on the way back (gents)
A2:
ladies allemande right 1+1/2
N swing
B1:
circle left 3/4
P do si do
B2:
P balance, swing
2. Pizza Shop
Yoyo Zhou
A1:
slice left
ladies chain
A2:
ladies allemande right 1
N swing
B1:
down the hall; turn as couples
B2:
circle left 3/4
P swing
Cheers,
Yoyo Zhou
