[Callers] New Dance?

[Ric Goldman - Letsdance via Callers]

HI Luke,

 

You didn’t understand it cuz I miscopied it.  😊

 

The B2 is actually

 

B2           1-4          Neighbors allemande R 1-1/2 (W end turning R to face into the set)
5-6          Chevron: balance the ring in-and-out while rotating the ring 1 place CCW (i.e. to the R)
7-8          Petronella with an extra half-turn to face new neighbors

 

I called it again last night and it went quite well.  A few folk said they really liked the “petronella one-and-a-half” at the end.  Who knew? 😉

 

Thanx, Ric

Bob, did you put a name on your version?

 

Ric, I admit to being confused by your dance. Are you putting an allemande once and a half AND two full petronella in the B2? Normally I'd give 8 counts to each petronella balance and move; so two fill out one B. Does your dance Fried Rice perhaps not have the long lines?

 

(yes, I know this was a while ago; digging through a back-log)

Hi Bob,

It’s almost the same as my dance Fried Rice, written in 2012 in a Chinese restaurant while waiting for dinner.  The only difference is the B2 5-8:

Fried Rice, duple improper

A1           1-8          Neighbors balance + swing
A2           1-4          Gents allemande L 1-1/2
                5-8          Partners swing
B1           1-4          Long lines fwd & back
                5-8          Circle L 3/4 
B2           1-4          Neighbors allemande R 1-1/2
                5-6          Balance the ring, petronella
                7-8          Balance the ring, petronella with an extra half-turn to face new neighbors

Hope this helps.
Thanx, Ric Goldman

Hive Mind:

I wrote the following solid little contra on a recent flight when I had too much time on my hands, and it went well on its initial test.   It didn't show up in my database, but do you know if it has been written previously?

Improper

A1.  Neighbor balance, swing
A2.  Gents allemande L 1 1/2, partner swing
B1.  Long lines, circle L ¾
B2.  Neighbor allemande R 1 1/2, 1/2 hey (GL, PR, LL, -)
