Anyone have experience with tapping into non-contra talent? (Especially with regard to a new series.)
For example, if there was plenty of Scottish/ECD/Old time music talent in an area, but no current tradition of contra dancing, how could one develop those musicians' interest and skills in playing for contra dances?

Hi,
We've made sets of most of the tunes we play but have some orphans. If you play any of these tunes and have recommendations for pairings that you (and the dancers) like, I'd appreciate hearing of them. Thanks! Sue Robishaw
