<p>Dugan, Here are Dan's own notes regarding the dance.. not sure what the Steve Schnur dance is titled, someone on here certainly knows..:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<p>"I always loved this zig-zag gimmick when I danced it in Cor Hogendijk's "Pat's Tradition", done by English country dancers. A dance by Steve Schnur that featured it motiviated me to try my own. The dance was written for and first performed at the Dance
Musician's Development Fund annual benefit dance. The Fund sprung out of a one-time benefit dance to help Susan Worland, a fine fiddler in Boston, replace her stolen instruments. From that, the Fund formed as a subcommittee of the Folk Arts Center of New England.
At the annual DMDF dance (12 hours of varied dancing) funds are raised to benefit research and special projects for Boston-area dance musicians. The title gives a nod to "Pat's Tradition" and the beneficial tradition of the DMDF.
</p>

</p>
<p>"Little did I know that when the dance started getting around, people would start yelping, hooting, etc. during B2. I think this started in Philadelphia. They have my blessing! Certainly, the "pulls" in B2 should be done with strength, tension, and other
good contra-type connection. Foot-stompers have my blessing, too! ;-)" </p>

<div dir="ltr">Does anybody know of dances inspired by "Beneficial Tradition" by Dan Pearl that includes the "zipper" figure (B2 of "Beneficial Tradition") or variations of that figure? I just wrote one myself, so I'm curious to see what else is out there.
