Great idea. I've been dancing for a few years and I send new dancers here to get the basics. Thank you so much for creating these.

The caller usually calls from a collection of dances that they've organized for the evenings program- some of which may be composed by the caller, but most usually are not. Not every caller is a writer/choreographer as well, though some do. Some may play a musical instrument or two as well.

You're a great public speaker! You have a real talent for it.
I just went to my first contra dance last week and I am totally hooked! I absolutely love it! Even though I got a bit confused a few times :-)
So, does the caller choreograph the dances?
I'm going to watch all of the videos! Thanks.

Hi Janet- Where did you get that fabulous folk art painting hanging on the wall behind you? I love it!

@rabidbadger73 Hi Jim...
The art on my wall is actually a hand made Egyptian appliqué quilt that I bought in the Tent Makers' Ally in Cairo on a dance trip. It was so cool watching the artisans hand stitch their appliqué designs free-hand with no basting. I liked this one in particular because its lotus flowers reminded me of a square dance. You might try a Google search to see if you can find anything similar. Thanks for the inquiry and good luck!
