[Callers] Mystery dance from Contracopia

[Laur via Callers]

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important;  padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; }  Thanks Jim.  I also retrieved  this from one of the RPDLW lists.  Ron is alwasy tweaking his dances as he finds needed. LOL. I asked him once if I could look over his "book" and he said sure but some of them really don't work. I said, so do you have them marked in some way, he laughed then said No.

I believe the correct title for the dance described below by Laur
is "Mange Tak" (not "Mange Talk", "Mongatack", or "Manga Tok").
That's how it's spelled in the 2009 RPDLW syllabus

    http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2009.pdf

It's the correct spelling for "many thanks" in Danish, which is
what the title is based on.

The dance Maia asked about has a clear resemblance to "Mange Tak"
but also is clearly different, with more balances (which Maia
says she definitely recalls) and with no shadow allemande.  It's
apparently an intentionally written variation, perhaps to achieve
a little simplification, since Maia collected it from Ron
Buchanan's calling, and it's unlikely he would unwittingly have
called a folk-processed garbling of his own dance.  I don't know
whether this variation is one that Ron came up with himself nor
whether it has a more specific title than something like "Mange
Tak (variation)".
