Dear callers and fellow dance writers,
I am writing a new contra dance and I have a question:
Has there ever been an instance where, during a “Right hand high and left
hand low,” everybody in a line of FOUR snakes under the raised arms (i.e.,
no one turns alone) in order to come back up the hall?
Caller’s Box explains the move as “A way for a line of three to face the
other direction and swap ends without dropping hands.” I want it to be a
line of four. Will that work?
Thank you!
