Jefferson and Liberty
Contra Proper
Jefferson & Liberty
*EASY*
PROPER formation
1. Circle Left
2. Circle Right
3. Star Right
4. Star Left
5. Actives down the outside
6. and back
7. Actives in the center, down the hall (about 6 beats)
8. Back up 4 steps, actives arch, 2s through arch, on to next
If there are tons of beginners, I start the walking backwards in phase 8
(B2) really early, so that they have plenty of time to arch and send the 2s
through the arch.

Yesterday I called Haste to the Wedding [1] after an influx of new
dancers and as a recovery from a dance that was a little too hard for
the group. I expected it to go well, but I was surprised by how well,
actually. With the clapping in time with the music in the B parts and
the extra time for the pass through, a lot of people who'd been
confused by progression and how this whole thing worked seemed to get
it in a way that helped for following dances as well.
Does anyone have suggestions for other dances that work similarly,
teaching progression?
