[SCA-Dance] Calling for Contra

[Sarah Kaiser]

I agree with Uracca and would focus on dances that have strong figural
elements. A few that spring to mind are Whirlygig, Nonesuch,
Newcastle, Boteman, Picking of Sticks, Saturday Night, Sunday Morn, My
Lady Cullen, and Grimstock.
Calling by figure rather than count is a difference too that I find
takes a stronger shared vocabulary between caller and dancer butcan
really help a conta or ceili dancer feel more in the confort zone.
It really may be a language barrier more than a skill barrier, much
like SCA fans if ECD seem to sometimes have with similarly complex
Itallian dances.

Just my 3.5 cents
