Thanks for the link. We usually finish our club nights with a circle mixer and that will make a change.

I’ve got rather stuck on Artful Dodger recently. Anyone know who wrote it. I wrote that down at a dance ages ago when I was less fussy about details.

 

A1 Forward and back twice

A2 do-ce-do neighbour, do-ce-do partner

B1 Men slip in, Ladies slip in to face their partner. Men slip out to partners place, ladies slip out to stand with back to partner.

B2 Balance and swing the one you are facing (new partner)
