Re: [Callers] Turning Point and A Rollin and A Tumblin

Hi Callers, I am working up two dances that I am having trouble with. The evening I am preparing them for is tomorrow night. The dances are Turning Point and A Rollin and A Tumblin. Here are the dances and my questions: (1) Turning Point (do you know the author) Duple Improper A1 Women change places (with a ½ gypsy) (4) Circle left ½ (4) Partner Swing (8) A2 Men change places (with a ½ gypsy) (4) Circle left ½ (4) Neighbor do-si-do (8) B1 Neighbor Balance and Swing (16) B2 Right and Left over (not back) (8) Star left (8) When my wife and I walk this at home I believe that she has an abrupt change of direction to get from the circle left ½ to the partner swing, and I know that I have a similar abrupt change of direction to get from the circle left ½ to the neighbor do-si-do, if I am correct to do that with the neighbors who are then below me. This seems do-able, even fun, but, as it seems unusual, I wanted to try and be sure that it was correct.

(2) A Rollin and A Tumblin (Cis Hinkle) Duple Improper A1 Neighbor balance and swing (16) A2 Long lines forward and back, women roll away on the way back (8) Same again, but men roll away (8) B1 Women Allemande Right (1 ½ ) (8) Partner Swing (8) B2 Ladies chain (over but not back) (8) Star left (8) I have been having trouble getting dancers to roll away on the way back, rather than after the forward and back. Should mess up the timing, although not too much bad seems to follow. What experiences with this dance have you had?

Thanks as always (And my dancers thank you too) Rickey Holt Fremont, NH _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
