Isn’t this a great domain name: dancerhapsody.com?

I’m preparing for calling contras to advanced (contra) dancers. But because of my crossover background, I think it’s appropriate that I use a couple of dances that incorporate modern western square dance moves. Which led me to Seth Tepfer‘s Dance Rhapsody site. He organized a Modern Western Squares for Contra Dancers weekend, called by Dan Sahlstrom (description here), and has written a couple of contras using flutterwheel and spin the top.

So it sounds like he’s a crossover contra caller->MWSD dancer (like Lisa Greenleaf and Laura Johannes (both C1 dancers). I’m a crossover MWSD caller->contra dancer (like Clark Baker). I think it’s fascinating to talk to people who do and enjoy both…such different evolutions of similar dance forms.
