so when teaching the dance it would be useful to teach it starting at the B1 through the
B2 to complete the progression ---
to then walk through the A1& A2 contra corners with both 1st & 2nd Corners for
all? ----Unless you had very experienced folks who would be comfortable with ghost corners
in the walk through. UNLESS I am not understanding the dance format at all.... which is
always possible.
It looks like fun!

I'm calling a dance on Valentine's Day
and was
thinking about using that as
a theme for programming. What comes to mind would
be
dances with strong
partner interactions or figures - like couples
DSD,
give and take, or
couples weave the line - along with dances that
involve leaving one's
partner and returning.
I'm interested to know what others have done with
programming along similar
lines, what your thoughts were, and any dances
you
found particularly
appropriate.
