<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 clear="none">
<br clear="none">
After a lovely weekend of both Contra and English at Youth Dance Weekend, I<br clear="none">
had an itch for programming some English-inspired choreography at BIDA last<br clear="none">
night. Since I didn't have a dance with the figures I wanted, I whipped one<br clear="none">
together on the drive home, tested it in the driveway, and debuted it last<br clear="none">
night. Success!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Now the question, of course, is whether or not someone already wrote it!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">

<br clear="none">
Amble On East<br clear="none">
Becket CCW<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
A1: Long Lines Forward & Back<br clear="none">
Ladies Chain Across (to Neighbor)<br clear="none">
A2: Ladies Dosido 1x<br clear="none">
Neighbor Swing<br clear="none">
B1: Give & Take, Gents draw Partner into 1/2 Poussette CCW<br clear="none">
With NEXT, Gypsy Star* 3/4 (Ladies backing up)<br clear="none">
B2: Partner (Long) Swing<br clear="none">

<br clear="none">
*Do we have a new name for this figure yet? I called it Gypsy Star in the<br clear="none">
walkthrough once or twice before realizing I should maybe figure something<br clear="none">
else out, and the phrase "Special Star" actually escaped my mouth, to the<br clear="none">
absolute delight of some of the dancers. During the dance itself, I just<br clear="none">
called "Star."</blockquote>
