I've just wrapped up another year of calling dances. It's been an exhilarating, busy year. I'm planning some more verbose reflections for later, but I also wanted, this year, to go deep on the quantitative elements of calling.

It occurred to me recently that I don’t think there are any contra dances that feature a set and link figure that's popular in Scottish Country Dance. So I decided to write some!

On my summer tour with Kingfisher the organizers of one dance told me that their group would tolerate Larks/Robins for role terms, but *preferred* Ladies/Gents. After talking it over with some other callers and dancers and weighing the factors (What will feel best for me? What will be best for the dancers? What will be good for contra dance in general?) I opted to call Larks/Robins.

This week I called the Nantucket's First Community Contra Dance. It was an unusual gig. The organizer is starting a contra dance community from scratch on the island. There were a small handful of experienced dancers she knew, but aside from them, the crowd was entirely new.

Called to a small but devoted crowd in Concord last night and as a rare treat it was spacious enough and with experienced enough dancers for me to call this beautiful dance composition by Erik Hoffman, titled “There is no Way to Peace; Peace is the Way” (after an A.J. Muste quote).
I’m typically not a star promenade and butterfly whirl fan, but for this dance I make an exception.

I'm #Neurodivergent so am intrested in #Disability and #Neurodiversity #autism Kinneticism ( #ADHD ) #Dylexia #Dyspraxia and #Aphantasia - list not exhaustive.
Musicwise I enjoy #Rock #Blues #HeavyMetal #TradFolk #Reggae and Ska and have an eccletic favourite list on Spotify.
I'm a big fan of #SciFi Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. I'm enjoying Wednesday right now.
So long and see you around.
