Re: [Callers] favorite easy out of minor set dances.

Emily, If your dancers aren't used to out of set dances, be sure to warn them not to get too relaxed when they are out at the end of the set. Someone will be coming to them at an unexpected time and if they are used to relaxing or socializing while they are out at the ends they will be caught off guard. In both dances below, after dancers are in Becket, have them take hands in long lines to ID shadow. In one hand is partner, the other hand has the shadow. A couple I like Groundhog Daze Becket A1 Shadow gypsy Partner swing A2 Circle left 3 Balance the circle, 2's arch, 1's dive thru B1 Next neighbor balance and swing B2 Long Lines forward and back Ladies pull by right, partner allemande left 3/4 Run Rooster Run II Becket A1 On left diagonal, gents pass right and swing your next neighbor A2 Ladies chain Left hand star once around B1 Partner balance and swing B2 Right left thru Long Lines forward and back In Run Rooster Run, while you have the dancers in long lines Identifying their shadows, also have the guys look straight across at their current neighbor, then left to the next neighbor gent they will pass right shoulders with and then one more place left to ID that next neighbor they are going to swing. Good Luck, Jim
