Hi Cheryl, Those dances of Jacob look nice, here are few more: Cheers, Bill For five: Gender Free For Five (inspired by the Weevil for 7) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GAAf-9unRg Sheepskin Five http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MyOqpjK1JQ Half Hazy Dots (inspired by Polka Dots) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a7aNG7ifZk Many triplets can be adapted to work for five as: Microchasimic (Gender Free for five) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si1aJPTUcoY For six Cut to the Chase (Triplet) http://youtu.be/5BdY_dy3hU0 For seven The Weevil by Richard Mason http://youtu.be/SM1vr2-QK_Q H7 (mod) by BB, original by Peter Toxvaerd found a version in Heiner Fischle's book Formation H shape gender free caller 7 2 6 1 3 5 4 Flowing music 7x32 bar reels A1 #1, #2 and #3 RH Star (8) ; #1, #5 and #6 LH Star (8) A2 #1, #3 and #4 RH Star (8) ; #1, #6 and #7 LH Star (8) B1 #6, #1, and #3 Hey3 (#1 starts R sh with #3) (16) B2 Lines (#2 thru #7) Forward, join hands 6 circle right one place (4), and fall back (4) #1 and #2 Allemand Left 1 1/2 into new places (8) * * #2 will have moved to the #7 position after B2a, after B2b #1 becomes new #7 and #2 becomes new center dancer: 1 3 7 2 4 6 5 so 7 times thru the dance gets back to original positions Teaching notes: Stress staying in the H formation, everyone will get a chance to be in each position. The middle person gets the most fun! They will lead each of the four stars and start the hey. All moves on the 234 side are right handed (or shouldered), while all moves on the 567 side are left. If the dancers in the lines face slightly down and hold their inside hands up and ready, the stars will go smoothly. calling notes: Call to the middle dancer. e.g. if have middle dancer facing the caller at start (which is the case after B2b), "right hand star on your right ..., cross to the bottom for a left hand star ..., across for a right hand star..., cross to the top for a left hand star, etc. Original version on web: http://www.krackau-web.de/events/cuesheet/H7.txt This version may have a mistake and as written does not flow nicely. Version in Heiner Fischle's book also does not flow so nicely.
