Re: [Callers] Dances with three or more allemandes

When I think "lots of allemandes," I usually think first of Gene Hubert's Ben's Spinoff #3 (4 allemandes in the A1), and Susan Kevra's Hume Fogg Reel (3 in the B1). They both have a series of allemandes in succession, and are not too challenging otherwise. Other, more challenging, dances with lots of allemandes (again, I am thinking of a series of allemandes) are Fuller Park Fantasy by Paul Balliet (4 throughout the A parts), and Reel to Reel by Cary Ravitz (4 in the A1) (the latter with the extra bonus of orbits). This is apart from many other dances that include several allemandes to change between wave formations, another fun way to do it. Snake Oil Reel, Chuck the Budgie, or Amherst & Wooster come to mind.

Thus I was pondering a workshop on correct allemanding: hand, ensuring the other's wrist is not contorted tension with the other dancer. minutes minutes, and precede a dance with multiple allemandes. allemandes 217-239-5844 www.ArtComesFuerst.com _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net <javascript:;> http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
