[Callers] Brain Dead - Need Suggestions

[Rich Sbardella]

Linda,
Chimes of Dunkirk is a great dance for tying the music to the dance.
Also Heel & Toe Polka.
Is there a dance that changes from 2/4 or 4/4 to 6/8?  I know I've danced
one but I cannot recall it.
I might suggest talking about the types of music we use in traditional
dance and maybe talk about a particular tune and its origins.

Peace,
Rich
