- I live in eastern Massachussetts and have never done any contradancing west of
- Worcester, MA. I was speaking with someone last night who dances regularly in
- the Pioneer Valley area in western MA (Amherst, Greenfield) and she mentioned
- how some dancers were upset because a caller from Boston kept calling squares
- at a dance out there. She said dancers in the western part of the state prefer
- contras *only* at their dances. This is exactly opposite what most of the
- dances in the east are like, where squares are called quite often.
-
- Is there really such strong regional preferences at dances like this? Sounded
- very strange to me.
