[written 3/11/95 during a bad bout of storms, power outages,
flash floods, and mudslides in Northern California. Our little
town was landlocked for 2 weeks by mudslides that wiped out the
road on either side. Teaches you to be self-sufficient!]

Hi Everyone - Many of our easier dances include
down-the-halls, but there
are so many ways to come back up! There's turn alone, and turn as a couple
of course, but there's also sliding doors, right-hand-high-left-hand-low,
loop-de-loop, cloverleaf. What are your favorite dances that include an
unusual down-the-hall? I've thought of putting together a program that
highlights all the different ways to go down the hall. I think there is a
wide enough variety in these dances that it could be doable without boring
the dancers.
