Hello all!
In a scene with which I'm sure many of you are familiar, I woke up in the middle of the night with a tune stuck in my head, and I couldn't fall asleep until I'd written a dance to go with it.
Let me know if someone's beat me to it:
Molly Apple Pye, Becket
A1: Balance Ring, Petronella
Balance Ring, Pass through up and down
A2: New Neighbor Balance and Swing
B1: Gents start 3/4 Hey across (GL PR LL NR GL PR),
Ladies Ricochet*
B2: Partner Swing
I realize the partner swing in this version is longer than standard, but figure since the timing can run long for a full hey with ricochet and since the next move is a ring balance, I don't mind giving the dancers the extra time to get their affairs in order. ;)
*But maybe the timing works better if the Ladies dance a left-shoulder-round instead, to take up a bit more music? I need to play-test! In that case, the B's would be,
B1: Gents start 3/4 Hey across (GL PR LL NR GL PR),
Ladies Left Shoulder Round
B2: Partner Right Shoulder Round and Swing
Thanks!
Angela
