Re: [Callers] Callers Digest, Vol 44, Issue 9

by Linda Leslie

Dear Laurie, For the exact same reason as you describe, I put together a triplet that introduces folks to the movements, as well as the cast off, which is found in so many contra corner dances. I have used it a lot, and it works well. Here it is! Corner Triplet by Linda Leslie Proper A1 Actives down the center as a couple (the lady will be on the LEFT) turn alone and return, cast off with the twos A2 Active couple turn contra corners B1 Active couple Balance and swing (end face UP) B2 Separate from each other go down the outside to the bottom Lines of three forward and back (end 2 3 1) Have fun!

Re: [Callers] Looking for a contra corner triplet

by Laur

I was able to remember the dance, and confirmed the name and author with someone else - It's Microchasmic by Ann Fallon And David, thanks so much for your reply. I'll look at the dances you mentioned. I thought of Ann's dance because it was simple to remember (duh) and easy to call.

Re: [Callers] Looking for a contra corner triplet

by David.Millstone＠valley.net

Dear Laurie, This won't help with the "Microcosmic..." dance you were seeking, but David Smukler has two triplets (one by him and one that he and Linda Leslie each created independently of each other) containing contra corners on his website: http://www.davidsmukler.syracusecountrydancers.org/DSS.html#corner_t The old contra chestnut, Sackett's Harbor, a triple minor, also includes contra corners. In that dance, the minor set of three couples has turned 90 degrees, so it'smuch easier to identify corners than in a duple minor in long lines, where the twos must be both first and second corners.

Looking for a contra corner triplet

by Laur

I'm afraid I thought I'd remember it easily, but it appears I remember middle and ending, but sadly, can't remember the whole dance. I planned to use this to introduce contra corners to a mixed crowd during this evenings dance. While I'm searching though my notes I thought I'd post to group. Already tried what I could searching on line. I can't remember the author, I believe the dance name begins with Microcosmic. I know many of you have already left for the weekend, but here's hoping...

New web site

by Chris Page

Hi, A quick advertisement: Based on discussion here about a year ago, I decided to put my dances on a website. It's finally done to the point where it's coherent enough to go public. There's some of my dance sequences, plus some other bits that may be of interest. As time goes on I'll add more dances, and may add other stuff. It's at: http://www.geocities.com/ccpage19143/index.htm Enjoy, -Chris Page San Diego

confession

by Chrissy Fowler

Hello all, Do you remember a while back when I was crowing self-importantly about having correctly identified the caller's voice in the YouTube of Moondance folks doing Cary Ravitz's Roadkill? Well, turns out it's not Diane Silver after all (which I would have figured out too, had I actually watched the entire video initially.) Instead it is Janet Shepherd, with whom Diane shared that evening's calling. In fact, you can see Diane sitting on the bleachers at one point, preparing to call the next dance. Diane calls that dance frequently and thought she had done it at Moondance, but when she looked at the whole video she discovered what really happened and emailed me a few weeks ago with the retraction. We are both a bit embarrassed but also entertained by our mistake. :-) Please let the correction stand. (And be aware of the potential to offer history-rewriting assertions! Ah, the importance of citing sources and providing identifying information!!) Both Diane and I will see many of you at NEFFA next weekend! Cheers!

Name 2 more from YouTube

by Rickey

Hi Callers, Your recent success identifying dances found on YouTube, prompts me to ask about 2 more from YouTube. (1) On YouTube the dance is just called a Toronto contra at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heu572-r9u8 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heu572-r9u8&feature=related> &feature=related : A1 Men Allemande Left (1 ½ ) Star Promenade and Butterfly Whirl A2 Women Gypsy Right once Swing Partner on the sides B1 Ladies Chain Star Left B2 Neighbor Balance and Swing (I think) (2) Also have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6japuy6VM4 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6japuy6VM4&NR=1> &NR=1 . I am not even sure what is going on, but I like it. Can you name this dance from Folk Madness 2007 and confirm the figures used. For extra credit (?): can anyone name the tune(s)? Thanks, Rickey Holt, Fremont, NH
