I'm not sure, but there aren't many female Quebec Square Callers so
there's a high chance this is Yaelle Azoulay. She calls in Montreal for the
Quebec folk at least once a year.
I find in general Quebec Square callers do not sync the timing of their
calls to the music as much as contra callers do, possibly because it's way
harder to say a figure name in French in four beats!
But many people have recommended that I contact Susan Kevra who has called
in France so I sent her an email.
Thanks!

Do you know this caller? I've wanted to dance
to her ever since I
stumbled across this video snippet:

But I don't travel to dance much these days, and AFAIK she has not been
out this way. This is a square, but there's no reason you couldn't do
contras this way.

Hello!
As I am one of the organizers (and local callers) for the contra in
Montreal this is something I'd like to get into at one point. I have heard
several things over the years: that someone was explaining the figures in
French but calling in English but also that someone had gone through the
trouble or finding translations that worked for some figures. has anyone on
this list tried calling in French or if you now someone who has and could
put me in contact with them. I'd rather not go through the time of figuring
these things out if someone has already done it!
Thanks!
