Hi Jim,
I'm copying the SW list to save others the hassle of searching. And to point others
toward New England Dancing Masters (NEDM)
Flat Tire is in the NEDM books - New England Dancing Masters are a GREAT resource, by the
way - books, recordings, overall attitude/perspective.

Might be in Listen to the Mockingbird.
You could email Peter directly if you want more info (and Peter, if you are lurking, yay
for you!) He wrote it with students during a residency in Quechee VT
Flat Tire by Peter Amidon & students
Whole set dance
(16) In whole set oval (take hands in lines and around the end) 'circle' L/R
(16) P dsd, sw
(widely varied) Face up hall, waving hands in the air (over head) count loudly to 3, on
the 4 count-yell 'wooh!' as you bump P on hip
All cast off, top couple leading lines around outside of set, top cpl meet at bottom make
arch, all others meet P below the arch, duck thru, dance up the set to new progressed
place.
I do it every week at two weekly summer dances - unfailingly popular/fun. Also my 4yo
requests it by name whenever he's at a dance I'm calling.

Hi Chrissy,
I saw your description of the student orientation on shared_weight. It
sounds like a lot of fun.
I've been through ten pages of Google search and can't find Flat Tire by
Peter Amidon listed anywhere. Can you tell me where to find it?
Thanks,
Jim McKinney
