I've an accessible square repertoire rooted in southern Appalachian and Kentucky figures, with additions from the early western and New England canon, all tied together with neo-traditional sensibility. The "modern urban contra" is my more regular scene these days, though I'm always ready to throw in a square or triplet or set mixer if the crowd is feeling it. At one-night-stands I've convinced the stubbornest chair-sitter to have a good time on the dance floor and the most belligerant drunk to remove their bottle from it. Barn dances are my jam to call just as much as calling for diehard "advanced" dancers who don't need a walkthrough. | 4/16/2022 8:53:15 | ||
