Hi Ron,
Thanks for "Ants Marching" - looks like a fun dance.
The smooth arch-into-swing move is an old one. It occurs in
dances like:
= = = = = = = = = =
Promenade A Trois
Trios; facing AC in Circle - Man in Middle
A1: Promenade
B1: Man: Left Hand High, Right Hand Low: Draw Right-Hand Lady under
arch and let her go - all the Right-Hand Ladies go to the middle and
Circle Left; Draw Left-Hand Lady into a Swing.
At the end of the Swing start Promenading as a couple - the
Ladies from the middle join onto the nearest Couple to make Trios.
Grabbing the man you want a swing with is allowed!
= = = = = = = = = =
Nice to see it in a modern contra.
Happy dancing,
John

Paul, that's not really a California Twirl :-) A California Twirl has
180 degree turns - it starts side-by-side, not facing. If you call it a
California Twirl then those who know what that is may get confused.
The move is "normally" called a Star Thru - start facing, 90 degree
turns, finish side-by-side.
I know some people think that that is a square dance term and therefore
you shouldn't use it in a contra dance, but this isn't a contra dance
and any way square dancers say "Swing" - are you going to stop using
that term? Why not just see it all as one glorious spectrum of dances
and use good terms when they are useful! Of course if you don't like
saying "Star Thru" then Larry Jennings (in Give-and-Take) suggests
"Twirl to Swap" as a generic term for any such move.
Teaching hint: tell all the ladies to put their right hand behind their
back and the men to put their left hand behind their back for the first
half of the dance.
Alternate ending: I often work with people who don't know how to waltz.
A great alternative for the "Waltz on" is:
Take your partner in a promenade hold, move slightly forward to your
right so that the men's left shoulders are almost touching and you have
a line of four, dance forwards with waltz steps so that the line rotates
a in complete circle and a little bit more then on to a new couple.
This move flows beautifully out of the Star Left as well :-)
Much easier for the inexperienced, and looks great!
Happy dancing,
John

Just curious Bob why you say it's awkward for the ladies to go from
the forward and back into an allemande left. Is it because the women
use their right hands more often than they use their left?
Lately I've been trying to think about what regular dancers do all of
the time, what they do some of the time and what they rarely do. I
attempt to give them a great deal of material I think they are
comfortable with, a sprinkling of what they do some of the time and
then always include at-least one new puzzle or obstacle.
We've been talking about is a very small piece of choreography in
only one contra. Looking at 3-33-33 in the context of an entire
evening might be useful too.

Esteemed colleagues,
2 weeks ago I called my first "period' event, a Civil War Ball for teens &
their parents, most new to dancing, nearly all dressed in amazing costumes.
It was a good night, with about 50 dancers attending. The highlight of the
evening came during the last called dance, The Spanish Waltz. It was a
mystical experience, one of those rare moments when everyone in the room
becomes one with the music, and the choreography is just mesmerizing to
watch.
Admittedly, it is not a contra, but I see no reason to let that stop anyone
from calling this truly gorgeous dance. It works w/ a 32 measure waltz in
Sicilian Circle formation, and quite simply starts w/ partner's inside
hands joined, in waltz time:
(1-16) w/ P F & B, then inside hand (same hand) to N for CA twirl (4 m.)
w/ N F & B, " inside hand to P for CA twirl
(4 m.)
w/ P F & B " " " to N for CA twirl
(4 m.)
w/ N F & B " " " to P for CA twirl
(4 m.)
(17-20) Hands Across R H Star
(21-24) L H Star
(25-32) w/ P Waltz on to next set of Ns
Version I have calls for waltzing ccw around other cpl 1 1/2 times to
progress
I sent them cw and said it was ok to only waltz 1/2 way around other cpl,
seeing it was hot and they were so finely dressed (petticoats, long hoop
gowns, etc.). I can see the logic of traveling ccw around other cpl, but
in spite of that, it was one of the more magical dance moments I've
witnessed. Enjoy.
Paul
PS While I'm on the topic, here is a short list of other dances that might
work well in warm weather:
Flirtation Reel (Tony Parkes) first 2 dances have down
the hall &
Jeff's Gypsy (my own) 1s & N Swing (not 2s)
Broken Sixpence (Don Armstrong) down the hall & just 1s swing
Mad Scatter (Rick Mohr) mixer
E. Litchfield Volunteers (Jim Gregory) nice & easy
Lady Walpole's Reel (Trad.)*
Coconut Custard Pie (Lynn Ackerson) mescolanza (hi energy feel to
it)
* Rumor has it Lady Walpole wanted a dance where P (read husband)
interaction was kept to a bare minimum.
3-33-33 lovers and callers - I have been calling this great dance recently
and noticed that dancers of various experience levels in several venues have
had trouble with the transition in the B2 from the Ladies Do-si-do 1 1/2 to
the balance with the next neighbor that starts the dance. They have trouble
finding that next neighbor, even after several times through, and with
translating the momentum of crossing the set to that of up and down the line
of the first part of the dance. I tried substituting an allemande right 1
1/2 for the do-si-do 1 1/2 of the original with little effect. What about a
ladies allemande right about 1 1/2 to a next neighbor allemande left and
then starting the dance again with a balance by the right with that
neighbor? Other solutions? Have you or your dancers noticed the problem
that I have seen. As always, thanks for your thoughts.
Rickey Holt
Here's the dance Galena:
Galena Jo Mortland
(Join right hands with your neighbor. This is your first neighbor. Turn
just a bit to bring the ladies to the center. Ladies join left hands to
form a wavy line of 4. #1 couples are facing down the hall, #2 couples are
facing up the hall)
(When you are out at the top or bottom, as a couple face the line with the
ladies on the left-opposite of the usual)
A1 Balance R & L, slide R (take your time and make eye contact on this
next move)
Balance L & R, slide L
A2 With this neighbor, allemande R half way
Walk forward to a new neighbor and swing
B1 Circle left 3 places
Partner swing
B2 Circle left 3 places
Neighbor do si do
Keep this neighbor to form wavy lines of 4

Unfortunately I've recorded a couple of my dances on 3X5s with ink
that disappears over time.
I'd like to know if anyone has heard of a contra by (I think) Jo
Mortland that is a reverse progression improper. It's fairly
accessible and the name is something like Galena.
Thanks
Tom
Oops, somehow the A1 from Split Infinity snuck into the middle of the Bee's Knees. I'm sure most of you have figured that out and will remove the extraneous A1.

Everyone will switch positions in the wave with their same sex neighbor when they form the wave again. This requires a bouncy tune, single jigs useful, or something like Rock the Cradle Joe, to get the balances in both parts of the A1.

> ****************************************
Here are 2 I wrote.The first one appears in California Twirls. The second one isn't a full hey, but two halves of a full hey, if that's OK.
The Bee's Knees
Duple improper July 17, 1992
A1 Balance in a wave across, women allemande left half way
Balance in a wave, box the gnat with partner (men end back to back in middle)
A2 Hey (pull past partner by right to start)
B1 Gypsy and swing partner
A1 Wave balance (4), half a hey (8), wave balance (4)
B2 Circle left ¾ and pass through
Do-si-do the new neighbor once and a little bit more
Alternate B2:
Women chain across
Do-si-do the new neighbor once and a little bit more
I like the box the gnat into the hey, and the do-si-do into a wave. I initially wrote it with the ladies chain, but I like the circle left ¾ version better.
Split Infinity
Duple Improper July 2011
A1 Wave balance (4), half a hey (8), wave balance (4)
A2 Half a hey
Swing neighbor
B1 Circle left three quarters
Swing partner
B2 Circle left three quarters, pass through
Do-si-do the next
Starts with the women in the center taking left hands for the first wave balance. Women then pass left shoulder to start the hey. Everyone will switch positions in the wave with their same sex neighbor when they form the wave again. This requires a bouncy tune, single jigs useful, or something like Rock the Cradle Joe, to get the balances in both parts of the A1.

There were some really great dances in this list! Thanks for sharing
everyone! But I noticed something about "Fidgety Feet." I have a dance
called "Fickle Finger of Fat" by Don Lennartson that is identical. The
funny thing is that I wouldn't have known it, but that alphabetically it is
the adjacent dance in my spreadsheet! I know the same dances get written
by different people, but thought that was just a weird coincidence!!
