<p>I've called or danced this several times. A fun variation is on
B1, you take hands as you step into the set in turn, then on bar 8
all jump or back firmly (possibly with an "Oi!" or grunt) on beat
1 of bar 8. It's a good, goofy dance.<br>
</p>
<p>I was inspired (by my need at the time for five-person dances) to
write a variation, which I've never actually had a call to inflict
on anybody.</p>

<p>THE LESSER WEEVIL<br>
12/2/2004 Alan Winston<br>

<br>
B1: 1-4: Right-hand neighbors do-si-do back into line<br>

Folks!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Interested to know of dances you’ve found that are NOT
contra or square dances.<br clear="none">
Catagorically fun dances, dances for irregular numbers
of couples, circles of any sort, odd formations, etc.<br
clear="none">
Matters not what tradition they may come from or if
you think of the dance as strictly for beginners,
intermediate or advanced dancers.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Is this a dance you usually share? Is this a dance you
save for “special occasions”?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Should be a fun “read”!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Best regards to all,<br clear="none">
