You might also ask Jackie Hall in Sherbrooke/Lennoxville. I've bcc'ed her.

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!
