I see to recall that there used to be one, but the link I had bookmarked no longer works with the new web site.<br>
<br>
I'm assuming that the Docey Doe in this dance isn't just a dos-a-do, but is a more complex set of movements. I know I've done some similar figures in the past, but is there an explanation for this somewhere on the web site?<br>
<br>
Here is a version of the Basket Quadrille. I think I got it from a Ralph Page book and modified it a bit.<br>
<br>
Basket Quadrille<br>
square (HS Keeper)<br>
<br>
Head couples forward and back<br>
Forward again and circle left<br>
Change that ring to a basket swing<br>
Right hand star (break that swing and star by the right)<br>
Left hand star<br>
Gents turn and swing the one behind<br>
Everyone home and swing their own<br>
Everyone promenade around the square<br>
<br>
Do for the heads, then the sides<br>
<br>
Final Figure:<br>
<br>
Head 2 couples to the center and back<br>
Side 2 couples to the center and back<br>
All 8 circle left<br>
All 8 basket swing<br>
Break that swing and circle left<br>
Swing your corner<br>
Circle left<br>
Swing your next corner<br>
Circle left<br>
Swing your next corner<br>
Circle left<br>
Swing your partner<br>
Promenade home<br>
<br>
One bit of patter I have heard used for basket swings is something like.<br>
<br>
Gents take hands,<br>
Ladies duck under,<br>
Ladies take hands,<br>
Now swing like thunder.<br>

Also known as "California Fruit Basket," or "Ladies Bow, Gents Bow Under" The signature move is the basket swing. Couple 1 visits first Couple 2, then couple 3, then couple 4. Et cetera.<br>

I'm way out in the boonies teaching square dance to a group of campers, and they asked for a dance called Roll Like Thunder. I did figure out that it's probably a square called Swing Like Thunder, but I'm not having much luck tracking down the actual moves. WiFi is really spotty out here, so I can't watch a video or listen to a recording. Does anyone have this dance in your collection? Thanks for any help.<br>
