Preparations

I'm now taking a break from writing more square dance choreo.

[livejournal.com profile] kent4str and I have some guest calling spots at the upcoming Make Magic in the Woods, this year's fly-in hosted by the Independence Squares of Philadelphia. [livejournal.com profile] kent4str will be calling a half-hour block of Mainstream & Plus; I'll be calling a half-hour of A1. One of us ( will be co-hosting the intro-to-plus session with Chris Phelan.

A1 is an awkward level, IMHO. The separation of calls between A1 and A2 seem largely arbitrary; without an obvious system, I find it difficult to expertly list which calls come from which list. So I sit here in the living room writing modules and cross-checking against the CallerLab lists for A1 purity.

Some time tonight, I also have to look over the materials for Monday's Mainstream class, our first real class session with the new students.

As far as I'm concerned A1 is a steak sauce.

We learned all the A calls mixed up together; I couldn't tell you which is which (A1 vs. A2), and truthfully the whole thing combined just didn't seem like such a big deal.
