<p>Just getting to my email now.</p>
<p>I have an ECD with a similar move - star into couples chase out, swap leads, come back in; in my dance, they go around each other, so it's clearly a poussette variation.</p>
<p>I tried calling it "dolphin poussette" but that really doesn't speak to people; another caller tried "couples chase out, turn right about and head back in" which got people to the right place but in a more angular way than I'd envisioned.</p>
<p>Here's my dance (with terminology from 2010; substitute "shoulder round" and preferred role names where appropriate).<br>
</p>
<p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
</p>
<p>SOUTHWIND<br>
Longways duple minor IMPROPER<br>
Southwind (flowing waltz) 16-bar A, 16-bar B, no repeats.<br>
7/1/2010 - Radically revised 6/14/2011, words revised 10/16/2011.<br>
<br>
A: 1-4: Neighbors right hand turn 1x, launching women into<br>
5-6: half-gypsy R finishing inside set line, facing neighbor<br>
7-8: All chassee up or down to change places with partner while looking at<br>
neighbor, finish facing partner.<br>
<br>
9-12: Partners left hand turn 1x, launching women into<br>
13-14: half-gypsy L, finishing inside set line facing partner<br>
15-16: All chassee up or down to change places with neighbor (to home place),<br>
while looking at partner, finish facing in.<br>
<br>
B: 1-4:right hand star 1x which leaves men <br>
facing out, partners behind them<br>
5-8: "Dolphin Poussette":<br>
Partners lead individually the way they're facing <br>
cast right to face the other way <br>
lead individually into progressed place and women (now in lead)<br>
loop right while men continue forward to face in into<br>
<br>
9-12: Partners gypsy right shoulder once round into<br>
13-16: Partners two-hand turn once round and open to face new neighbors.<br>
<br>
<br>
Notes: You could also describe the women's half-gypsy as a "hole in the wall"<br>
cross but they may want to back out to the set line if you do that. Recommend<br>
demo as early part of instruction.<br>
<br>
The "dolphin poussette" is fairly hard to get across in words, but it does have<br>
that "dolphin hey" sense of changing leads. The paths are roughly parallel.<br>
Breakdown is something like this:<br>
<br>
5: each lead three steps out; at end women are on the men's set line while<br>
men are well out from the set line)<br>
6: both start right shoulder cast; man's, on the wider track, gets halfway<br>
to neighbor's place while woman's gets all the way<br>
7: man finishes cast still well out from set line while<br>
woman crosses set to progressed place facing out<br>
8: man takes three steps forward to set line while <br>
woman loops right through her place to face in.<br>
</p>
<p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>Anyway, for your use case, maybe "turn the star once around, stay facing the way the star leaves you. Single-file in couples, go straight out, individually turn up and go up, individually turn in, and walk in until you're back in the set in a new spot."</p>
<p>Star burst is a nice name!<br>

<div class="gmail_default">As I'd envisioned it, the path on the floor is very much like a poussette, but the dancers wouldn't be holding hands. It's almost like the tandem turn in a dolphin hey; but with motion up and down the hall. I think of zig-zag when
there's lateral movement relative to the direction the dancers are looking, which this doesn't have either. So yeah, it's a blender-mix of a bunch of different stuff. </div>

<div>Hi All,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I'm playing around with choreographing triplets, and I've got a sequence that I think would flow well; but I'm not sure how to teach it short of a demo.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The idea is that couples 2 & 3 do a star. Out of that star, they move out, up, and back in; leaving space in the middle for couple 1 to move to the bottom. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I put together an animation of it:</div>

<div>Is that already a defined move? What would you call it? How would you teach it?</div>

<div>Thanks for your thoughts!<br clear="all">
