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. <div><br></div><div>Laurie<br><br><br><a href="https://yho.com/footer0" target="_blank">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad</a><div><div class="h5"><br><br><p style="font-size:15px;color:#715ffa;padding-top:0;margin-top:0">On Monday, December 7, 2015, 10:43 PM, James Saxe via Callers <<a href="mailto:callers@lists.sharedweight.net" target="_blank">callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a>> wrote:</p><blockquote><div style="padding:1.5em 0.5em 0.5em 1.2em;word-wrap:break-word">I believe the correct title for the dance described below by Laur<br clear="none">is "Mange Tak" (not "Mange Talk", "Mongatack", or "Manga Tok").<br clear="none">That's how it's spelled in the 2009 RPDLW syllabus<br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <a shape="rect" href="http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2009.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2009.pdf</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none">It's the correct spelling for "many thanks" in Danish, which is<br clear="none">what the title is based on.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">The dance Maia asked about has a clear resemblance to "Mange Tak"<br clear="none">but also is clearly different, with more balances (which Maia<br clear="none">says she definitely recalls) and with no shadow allemande.
