Calling Party Tonight - New English Dance on Friday

Calling Party tonight! As usual, there is much to prepare for. The new dance series, the Webster Groves English Country Dancers, starts this Friday, and our very own Kay Tomlinson, Bob Green and Kimberly Hall will be calling this month (and next month, Missy Reisenleiter and Chrystal Gallacci - joined by Dr. John Ramsay).

On Saturday, February 21, Kimberly Hall will be calling an English dance in Rolla, MO, sponsored by the Jovial Beggars.

Next Tuesday, February 24, Dance Discovery has again invited callers to call and dancers to dance - that's at the Brentwood Congregational Church at 7:00pm. The dances will be the ones that the Tu'Penny Uprights are planning to record for a future dance CD. Come and help us determine the tempos - your chance to influence the dance experience of future generations of dancers!

And, in a week and a half, on March 1, the excellent Wade Pearson will be calling his first Whole Dance at the Childgrove Sunday night contra dance, thereby earning his Golden Megaphone. Wade appears to disdain these whimsical little tokens of our admiration, preferring to retain his air of sophisticated restraint, but we continue to hope he secretly savors our admiration.

If that's not enough activity for you, in a mere two and a half weeks, on March 7, we'll have another First Saturday Hatchling Dance. So, ladies and gentlement, start your engines, think of what dances you want to call, and prepare to call them!
