Hi.
There is an old dance called "Joy," which comes to mind from the name of
the last post author. It has been in my files for decades, i do not know
the devisor, and was used in the Delaware Valley RSCDS for a time 30 years
ago:
Joy
proper duple minor
A1 Lines forward and back,
1st col cross and cast to 2nd place, 2nd col move up.
A2 Star Rt (hands across)
Ladies chain half way.
B1 Hey for 4, Ladies pass right.
B2 Ladies chain 1/2
1st col half figure 8 up through 2nd col.
Problem for modern US contra: No Swings, so i don't use it any more.

Hi John,
My dance Truffles for Breakfast comes to mind. It was written at the
weekend wedding of Shawn Brenneman and Matt LeBarge when I ended up, yes,
eating gourmet dark chocolate truffles for breakfast. The dance, like the
truffle, is very smooth, intense, and swirly. I can send an rtf file or
Word doc with the dance, description, and teaching notes to anyone who
wants it.
I would send you a second idea, but I have too many ideas to choose from!

Dance while you can.
see my website: http://marblechimes.com/
Hi all,
I am planning some workshops, for festivals here in the UK, with the
title
"Flow & Glide Contras: Dances with
beautiful flow, connectivity and a
smooth, satisfying glide." (Thanks to Sarah VanNorstrand and no doubt
many
others for the title!)
I have lots of ideas already, but am always interested in finding great
dances that I am not familiar with.
If you don't mind sharing, please let me know your favourite ONE or TWO
contras that fit this description.
Many thanks.
Happy dancing,
John

after
a partner remarked that she loved dances that
flowed. For the women,
the
only time they stop moving forward is at the end
of the swing.
