I enjoyed seeing the dancers figure out how to dance the unfamiliar figures -- nothing was too hard, the beginners got through it fine, and people enjoyed refining the timing for the Dublin Bay figure. I taught it without being very precise on the timing, to give people the joy of discovery.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It was interesting to me that practically none of the dancers pre-bent the line for the A2. I think the 2's were enjoying the swoop across the set to start the (figure formerly known as a) gypsy; it's more dramatic than the usual oh-you're-here-already start of that figure.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- Roger H</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 9:28 PM, QuiAnn2 via Callers <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:callers@lists.sharedweight.net" target="_blank" class="">callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="">I’ve also written a dance with this down the hall figure in it.
