<p>Dugan and all, I don't know if Cary Ravitz actually "invented" the Gypsy Star but he wrote a dance entitled that and a lot of others that include it. Dugan, you're sort of Cary's protégé, right?, so you must know the dance. This is the same figure, correct??</p>

Hey y'all!<br>
<br>
After a lovely weekend of both Contra and English at Youth Dance Weekend, I<br>
had an itch for programming some English-inspired choreography at BIDA last<br>
night. Since I didn't have a dance with the figures I wanted, I whipped one<br>
together on the drive home, tested it in the driveway, and debuted it last<br>
night. Success!<br>
<br>
Now the question, of course, is whether or not someone already wrote it!<br>
<br>
-===-<br>
<br>
Amble On East<br>
Becket CCW<br>
<br>
A1: Long Lines Forward & Back<br>
Ladies Chain Across (to Neighbor)<br>
A2: Ladies Dosido 1x<br>
Neighbor Swing<br>
B1: Give & Take, Gents draw Partner into 1/2 Poussette CCW<br>
With NEXT, Gypsy Star* 3/4 (Ladies backing up)<br>
B2: Partner (Long) Swing<br>
<br>
-===-<br>
<br>
*Do we have a new name for this figure yet? I called it Gypsy Star in the<br>
walkthrough once or twice before realizing I should maybe figure something<br>
else out, and the phrase "Special Star" actually escaped my mouth, to the<br>
absolute delight of some of the dancers. During the dance itself, I just<br>
called "Star."</blockquote>
