Becket formation
32 bar reels
Keith Wood Jan 2017
Following online discussions about the Dublin Bay movement I decided to create a dance that incorporated it.
1-4 | Gypsy opposite |
5-8 | 1st man and 2nd woman (at the bottom of each minor set) back-to-back and finish facing down, while the others cross (right shoulder) and move to the end of a line of four facing down, men on one side, women on the other |
9-12 | Dublin Bay: lines of four back up (up the hall) and then come forward, turning individually half-way (toward same-sex neighbour) at the last moment to face up |
13-16 | Lines of four back up (down the hall) and then come forward, turning individually to face same-sex neighbour at the last moment |
17-22 | 3/4 hey for four passing same-sex neighbour right-shoulder to start (until meeting your partner the second time) |
23-24 | Circle left half-way (men together and women together) |
25-28 | Swing partner |
29-32 | Slice left: advance towards the couple on your left diagonal, then retire straight back from them (progression); spare couples wheel onto the opposite side |
I'd love to see more Dublin Bay dances that aren't all glossary moves surrounding the down-hall move....
So. What else we got? :)
