Contra shoes and contra repetition
Sept. 14, 2001, 8:51 p.m. (Message 27383)
One of the callers in the Midwest, Roger Diggle, always seems to wear red,
white and blue bowling shoes. They're a hoot!
I like the repetition of contra; I find it relaxing. And around here, no
two people do things exactly the same way, so I find there's always a little
surprise. I'm never quite sure what's going to happen to me at the end of a
lady's chain. My husband, on the other hand, prefers SCD and the exciting
tension of wondering where he's going to go next. He danced contra at a
wedding (and was great with the beginners) but generally won't go to a
contra dance unless there are special circumstances.
I prefer SCD, but I'm not sure why. I certainly laugh a lot more doing
contra.
