[Callers] Re: The Weaving Way

Hi all, I was confused. Thanks to Jeremy Child for explaining it to me. Jeremy's version has a Dosido after the Swing. This is how I would now document it: The Weaving Way (Anon.) Square Inside Square; Insides Facing Outsides Inside Heads California Twirl to start the dance facing in A1/A2: Dip ‘n’ Dive to Home: Heads: Inside #3s Arch first Sides: Inside #2s and Outside #4s Arch first B1: Partner Swing – finish with Insides facing Outsides Neighbour Dosido B2/C1: Half a Right Hand Star – let go and stay facing in that direction – Ladies line up close behind your Partner Men Weave the Ring – pass Left Shoulder to start - each Lady following her Partner – Weave Six Changes = 3/4 of the Square Half a Right Hand Star – Men drop out, Ladies keep hold C2: Ladies Chain to your Neighbour Ladies Chain to your Partner – Inside Heads Power Turn to face in Progression: Original Outside couples move 3/4 AC and stay as Outside couples Original Inside couples move 3/4 CW and stay as Inside couples Arches: Those partially facing NW (if stage is N) Arch first I hope that helps. Now I just need sixteen intelligent dancers to try it! :-) Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent -----Original Message----- From: Louise Siddons via Contra Callers <contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> Sent: 30 March 2024 17:56 To: Shared Callers <contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> Subject: [Callers] The Weaving Way Hi all, I have a note to myself from pre-pandemic times about a square-within-a-square called The Weaving Way. I have no other information about it, and searching the archives of this list and the trad callers list produced no useful results, so… I turn to all of you. Do you know this dance, and if so, are you willing to share? Thanks very much, Louise. _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
