Caller's Collective: Positional Calling

  • Triangle Dance Studios 2603 South Miami Boulevard Durham, NC, 27703 United States (map)

Callers and dancers both, come practice positional contras: calling, teaching, and dancing without role names. The Lagomorph Trio will play! Positional calling uses the geometry of the dance to orient everyone. Several callers have used positional/role-free techniques at evening dances in the Triangle over the last six months. Please come explore more!

We are dancing in the back studio at Triangle Dance Studios, Nov 3, 12:30-3:30PM. If you can, please donate $5-$10 for the band.

We'll have an open mic for experienced and learning callers. Callers, if you can prep several dances and arrive 10-15 minutes early, that will help us organize the program. We'd love to hear ahead of time if you'd like to call a dance (but please come anyway if you don't RSVP). For ideas about how to call positionally, here is a starting guide.

Feel free to reach out to Eileen Thorsos with questions, including about getting going with positional calling.

This event is hosted by the callers collective and Triangle Country Dancers. We will not have a newcomers lesson.
