[Callers] Calling a Halloween Dance Tonight?

[Greg Allan via Callers]

What a great suggestion! Thanks Amy.

Here's another: Haunted Woods of Athlone. As Bridge of Athlone, but with a
few Halloween changes:

A1 Forward and Back, and Change with Partner* Zombie Style*
A2 Repeat back to place

B1 Top couple chasse down the center and back 8 steps
B2 Top couple casts off, lines follow down to the bottom *Witches Broom (Or
Gliding Ghost) style.* Top couple make an arch, everyone under the arch and
back to place

C1 Top couple back up the outside while everyone else makes the Haunted
Woods (instead of the Bridge). Top couple runs through the haunted woods to
the bottom.
C2....? Not ever sure of the timing of this dance! But it's usually not
done in distinct phrases.

Enjoy!
