[Callers] Ralph Page Style

[John Sweeney via Callers]

Hi all,
	I was at a workshop recently where someone asked me if I liked "the
Ralph Page style" of contra dance.  They claimed that they had been told
that he wanted dances to be slower and calmer.

	Is there a "Ralph Page style"?  If so what is it?

	If he wanted the music slower, what speed did he want?  Did he want
it slower than the 130+bpm that square dancers used to use?  Or slower than
the 120bmp that is common now in contra?

	Thanks.

Happy dancing,
John
