After several discussions with new callers about a lack of dance walk through videos, I've started recording some of mine (when I can remember!). This past weekend (Cabin Fever, Knoxville TN), I had the wonderful help of Jim Crawford to add footage from the floor and to mix in the house audio. I'm sharing that here for whatever benefit it brings folks.
Some interesting things happened that changed how I called this dance:
- The lines were crowded, so I backed the gents up to suggest that they cross the gent in the next set by the right (overlapping orbits).
- There was some confusion about shadows, but it really doesn't matter who that is, so I ignored/squashed questions about direction and just let the dancers muddle into it.
- I'm started at B2 in order to put the pass through progression at the end of the dance (making the dance improper.) I do this sometimes for reasons that I don't always recall.
I hope these videos prove to be useful.
