	Contra Dances by Cary Ravitz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This dance is an easier version of Through the Looking Glass, or you might see it as Amy Kahn's Sweet Music with a different progression, or Steve Zakon-Anderson's Twirling at the Alter with the progression moved from the hey to the circle, or David Zinkin's Becky's Becket with a different A2.
		The dance is further modified by replacing the men allemande left 1+1/2 and long lines with circle left 3/4 and right and left through, which moves the middle of the dance to the opposite side of the set.
		This dance is a simple setting of the creation of a four leaf clover as in Symmetrical Force by Fred Feild and the transition from the clover to a swing as in Corners at Dawn by Peter Stix.

		There's always been a lot of speculation about the sentence she faces: first the prosecution had to decide whether they would seek the death penalty; now the judge has to decide whether to convict her; and there'll be a separate sentencing decision after that.
		Actually, they started out saying "she faces the firing squad", which must be jumping the gun (as it were) -- surely you don't face the firing squad until you're actually facing the firing squad.
		When you face adversity with courage, that doesn't mean to say you expect some adversity at some point in the future, it means you're already suffering it.

		Each of these aboriginal tribes has its own distinct dance tradition and invariably all of them are interwoven with the life of the people who dance it, so much so that it seems that some of their daily tasks are given to rhythmic pattern.
		This is ritual dance propitiating the goddess Kali.
		Many of the characteristics of the earlier ritual folk dances such as Thiyyattom, Mudiyettu and Theyyam are seen in Krishnanattom especially in the painting of the face in intricate pattenrs, and the use of masks and colourful, gorgeous costumes and head-dresses.

		Many dances traditionally danced in the SCA which aren't actually from before 1600 are also given, along with the damning evidence of their origin -- this collection will hopefully be complete, with the good, the bad, and the ugly.
		This dance is danced in the SCA with the men moving up the hall one position each repetition, changing partners.
		This dance is often seen with swiveling hips during the singles to swirl skirts; I've heard it alleged that this is contra dancing and isn't known to be period.

	Greek Dances
		Most Greek folk dances are danced in single lines; Karagouna is unusual in that it is a flirtatious couples' dance; in our choreography, the men dance in a line behind the women's line.
		Kostantakis This dance technically is a Zagorissios, that is, a dance from the Zagori, which are mountainous villages north of Ioannia on the Greek mainland.
		This dance is from the island of Kefallinia in the Ionian Sea.

		And soooooo Keith Moon kicked the bucket a little bit prematurely forcing The Who to recruit a new drummer and they picked good old Kenney Jones (formerly of the Butt-Faces) to start banging on those bongos.
		When it was finally time for The Who to cut a new album, I guess Kenney Jones wasn’t an exciting enough of a drummer or something because the rhythm sections are relatively uniform and unexciting.

	Some ME Dance Styles
		I believe the initial research was well done however a recent video of folk dance was poorly done not only had the dances lost their original flavour, several dances were mislabelled and the costuming was overstagified.
		Originally a flirtatious cafe dance, it took on a more patriotic meaning when dancers started to use a red and a white scarf to support the independence movement in the 1950's.
		NB I have not included "gypsy" dance (apart from specifically the Ghawâzî) as it is subject to even more of a fantasy cult than "belly dance".

	Dances by David Smukler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The traditional dance may well be "elegant," but it is anything but "simple." Not only is the timing hard to make work on the stars, but the right and left through figures that return the actives to place are quirky.
		My dance does not entirely eliminate that quirk (which is, after all, part of the dance's charm), but the first RandL is one that dancers will find more "normal." Timing for the stars is made tighter and more "modern," and a swing is added for the active couple.
		Given the dance's origin as a variation of a triplet #i, "imaginary contra corners" seemed as good as any, and is also the reason the dance is named after an imaginary place.

	Face Dances by The Who : MusicOutfitter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Originally released in March 1981, FACE DANCES was the Who's first album following the death of the group's original drummer, Keith Moon.
		In fact, FACE DANCES was arguably the band's last aesthetically successful album.
		FACE DANCES is no bland-out, but the band mines the subtle end of their dynamic range more extensively and successfully than ever before.With the advancing years, the tension between Townshend's thoughtful lyrics and the rock-hero bravado of Roger Daltrey's delivery had grown more pronounced, charging these songs with subtextual energy.

		I am a big fan of The Who, but I have to just be flat out honest and say that Face Dances is a bad album.
		When listening to Face Dances, one has to wonder what was on Pete Townsend's mind,...
		In the end, as we know, the Who decided to attempt to forge ahead, and 'Face Dances' was...

	FACE DANCES
		Of course, this time there’s something missing: the energy, the anger, the warmed-over teenage angst are absent, replaced by a maturity and songcraft that somehow let Townshend’s contributions overshadow the rest of the band.
		Maybe that was the intent all along with The Who Part 2, or perhaps the band had dropped their compass in the confusion.
		Whatever the reason, Face Dances holds the dubious distinction of being a very good album that few thought made a particularly good Who album.

	Daily Vault - January 26, 1998
		When Moon died, he took with him a creative spark and youthful energy that Roger Daltrey and company had made a career on for well over a decade.
		After a period of regrouping, The Who reemerged with former Faces drummer Kenney Jones and released Face Dances, an album that some claimed was not typical Who material.
		After the disappointment of Face Dances (which I'll admit I haven't listened to in some time), The Who had a decision to make: try to return to the roots they came from, or continue in the same vein of Face Dances and hope for the best.

		Face Dances, a not-at-all funny pun on the band Kenney Jones was in before this one and an album derided as lifeless eighties keyboard pop swill by most of those who have heard it, a characterization I will not argue with.

	Rolling Stone : Pete Townshend: All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes : Music Reviews
		Through the Seventies, the gap between his extroverted Who songs and his more private solo efforts almost disappeared, and his output has been a crescendo of anxiety: insecurity, fear of aging, anger, sexual confusion, job worries.
		The biggest change is Townshend's vocals, which are now absolutely secure all the way up his range, with an angelic serenity at the top.
		Although some lyrics stay unified for the length of a song – "Exquisitely Bored." "Uniforms," "Face Dances Part Two," "Prelude" (a four-line suicide note?) and "North Country Girl," a postatomic variant of the old folk ballad – it's apparently a strain, because the longer songs invariably go haywire.

		The result is a blast, and it's guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
		A gem, but perhaps not widely known because Ronnie Lane's chief claim to fame is "backing" both Steve Marriott (in the Small Faces) and then Rod Stewart (in the Faces), when in fact Lane was a solid songwriter in his own right.
		There are two other radio hits, namely, the bizarre, ska-like "Face The Face," with frenetic horns and a funky groove; and "Second Hand Love," with ominous, mechanical, repetitive piano and percussion parts.

		Because it was not the breakthrough classic that many wanted it to be in the wake of drummer Keith Moon's death, "Face Dances" was a commericial and critical dissappointment when it was released.
