Hi all. Several folks asked me off-line for the Monkey directions. Here's Lynn Ackerson's note and dance instructions, with her permission -- and our thanks. And thanks, too, to Rich Goss for his even speedier reply to my request! Val

From Lynn Ackerson:
The [RPDLW 2015] syllabus will be available for sale soon. We usually wait a year before putting it online. But as a sneak peak, here's how the dance will look in the syllabus:

Monkey in the Middle

As called by Carol Ormand
Source: Unknown
Formation: Ninepin: 4 couples in a square, with an extra person (the “monkey”) in the middle
Music: Joys of Quebec 
 
A1    Circle left
         Circle right
A2    Into the middle and back
         Monkey in the middle, swing someone
B1    Those two separate and swing two more
B2    Those four separate and swing four more; finish in a square with a new monkey in the middle

At the Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend (RPDLW) in January, Carol Ormand called a fun & silly little dance that I liked: Monkey in the Middle. I think there were 4 couples plus 1 extra person ("the monkey"). ​I don't think that the 2015 RPDLW syllabus is available yet online. Would anyone have instructions they're willing to share?
