It's actually a Right-hand star. Adjust your handgrip from the star to a
right hand shake with your Neighbor so you can pull by for the right-left
through.

Such a fun dance!

I picked up the title for this dance from Lisa Greenleaf about a month ago,
but am not finding the dance anywhere online. Does anyone have the author
and the choreo for the dance Northeast by Southwest?
Thanks!
Angela
It means from the star right 3/4, which ends across from your neighbor, you
take right hands with your neighbor for the right hand balance; you "keep"
that hand because it's already in the star.
Ah, I see the problem - it's in Mac's notes as a star left, but it's
actually a star right.

Hi everyone,
I’m having some minor delivery issues. I’ll be able to work on this again tomorrow. (I have to take care of my parenting trick-or-treat duties this afternoon and evening!)
Thanks for your patience. Please hold off on conversations to the lists for now.

I try and call the dances of Rich Blazej whenever I can and this one's a
Halloween favorite, re-done as "Werewolves and Zombies".
*Garfield's Escape* -- circle of couples PLUS ONE EXTRA in the center
(Garfield)
A1 All into the center EIGHT steps and back, menacing the Garfield
A2 Circle left, circle right
B1 Women (werewolves) promenade single file to the right, while men
(zombies) "star" by the right -- each man puts his right hand on right
shoulder of the man in front - including Garfield.
B2 Caller hollers "Escape!" ("Boo!", or maybe "Braaaiiins") and all men
run to the outside and swing with a woman in the outer circle. A new
Garfield remains in the center.
Rich himself named this after Garfield the comic-strip cat, way back when
he was cynical and funny (the cat, not Rich).
"The single man remaining at the end of the dance is entitled to a pan of
lasagna and some fresh kitty litter".
My favorite normal tune for this is the minor jig Coleraine, played at a
slightly slower lurch-y tempo, but if I'm lucky the band'll do the Alfred
Hitchcock theme.
Have fun, just thought I'd share -- and I'd love to hear how it goes if you
do it, and what variations emerge.
Cheers,
Amy
Hello dear callers,
At long last, Shared Weight is getting ready to move to a new email host. I will be working to transition the four @sharedweight.net lists to the new host in the next week or so. I’m sure there will be some hiccups during the transition, so please hang in there with me. On the day of the move, I will send an email saying that the move is in progress. (Any emails you send during the transition may not get in to the archives.)
Ideally, you won’t even notice the change.
This is just a heads up to let you know it’s coming.
Seth
PS - For those that care about the details, I’ve built up a Linode VM running Debian Stretch and Mailman3. Outbound list traffic will go through AWS since they tend to have a good spam reputation.
I'm sorry to announce that Ann Appleing died on the morning of 17th October.
For as long as I can remember, Derek and Ann have been a Folk Sales point. Their caravan was a familiar sight at many
Folk Festivals and dance weekends in England, and they had an enormous supply of books, CDs and other items related to
folk dancing and music.
If you want any more information, please contact Derek Appleing: Derek-Ann(a)Folksales.co.uk

Hello encyclopedic dance minds. Does this dance already exist?
Formation: Becker, CW
A1: [slide left] new ravens allemande right 1.5; neighbor swing
A2: Circle left 3/4; balance the ring, neighbor CA twirl
B1: balance, petronella twirl; balance, box circulate
B2: balance, slide right; partner swing
Question 2: is petronella followed by box circulate boring?

I share the concern about driving a lot to get to dance events.
FWIW: The Concord Scout House is 0.6 miles from the Concord commuter rail station, which has approximately hourly service (more frequent in rush hour) to and from North Station in Boston and intermediate stops (including Porter Square for the Red Line subway). Last inbound train just before 11:30 pm.
By contrast, I can pretty easily get to dances in Burlington, VT, from my home in Middlebury, VT, by public bus during rush hour, but there is no return service late in the evening. I need to be more diligent about seeking people to carpool with, but not everyone wants to get to the dance as early as the caller has to, nor stay till the bitter end.
