One of my favorite dances to call!
It's a Pirate's Life for Me, by Nathanial Jack
I got it from Nils Fredland's calling
improper
A1. N B+S
A2. Pass through to a short wavey line/ocean wave* (4), Balance the wave
R+L (4)
Slide right (4), gents allemande left once (4)**
B1. P B+S
B2. Ladies allemande right 1 1/2
Neighbor allemande right 1 1/2 to new neighbor (actually 1 3/4, but
who's counting)
*everybody passes through across; ladies catch left hands, give right to
neighbor in short wave -- ladies in the middle, gents on ends.
**This is confusing during the walkthrough, since the gents actually
have to slide past two people, unlike the usual wave balance/slide
figure. As long as the gents allemande by the left hand, things will be
fine -- you just have to make them beleive that's how the dance goes,
really.

Hi I have some more incomplete notes on dances. Hard
as I try, my
own notes
don?t always make sense to me when I get to look at them. I very much
appreciate the help I have gotten in the past. Here are questions
on some
more. If you know any of these dances I would appreciate you help
again.

(Duple Improper)
A1 Neighbor Balance and Swing
A2 Pass to a wave (men slide past each other into a wavey
line of 4
across the set)
??????
Men Allemande Left to Partner
B1 Partner Balance and Swing
B2 Women Dos 1 ½
Neighbor Gypsy (just a ?glance?)
Progress to New Neighbors
QUESTION: My notes on A2 seem incomplete
Feet in Flight, Dale Rempert
(Duple Improper)
in A1 (4) Balance the ring
(4) Ladies Roll neighbor GENT away with a 1/2 sashay
(Rt to L)
(8) Ladies chain to Partner
QUESTION: I am not familiar with doing a roll away from a circle
formation,and by the time dancers are doing a ladies chain, I
expect that they are in
a line. How and when do you have dancers transition into a line
when you
call this dance.
QUESTION: I have the same problem in
FORTY MOHR YEARS, Sue Rosen
(Becket)
in B1 Balance the ring
Roll Away with a Half Sashay (Ladies or Gents Roll Away,
depending on the version)
Ladies Chain
Pedal Pushers, Bob Dalsemer
(Duple Improper)
in A1 Gents Al? Left 1 1/2,
Scoop Up Partner Star Promenade
Butterfly Twirl
QUESTION: What is the timing?
