[Callers] FW: Fairfield Fancy

This came only to me - I think David meant to post it to the discussion. Thanks David! I would add the tip for teaching that Doug Protsik gave me. On the B1 when they have formed the lines of four, remind the folks on the inside to take tiny little steps, and the folks on the outside to take long steps. That makes the fan work. The fan is about twelve counts, the duck under about four. If it's REALLY hot, or you are working with more beginners, you can skip the ladies chain, make the fan run longer and go directly from the duck under to the next A1. Also, for the four-in-line, the MCDO used to call "Fan the Band", as I recall (it was about twenty years ago!) -cynthia -----Original Message----- From: David Millstone [mailto:David.Millstone@valley.net] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 7:02 PM To: online(a)starleft.org Subject: Fairfield Fancy It's published in Legacy (CDSS), where it appears as a duple improper contra but could easily be turned into Sicilian circle as Cynthia suggests.
