Last fall my wife, Kathleen, and I had a marriage celebration dance with the Russet Trio playing and we wrote Autumn Marriage to be danced to Tom Kruskal's Reel.
Autumn Marriage by Kathleen Larkin and Jon Greene
CW becket
A1, A2:
[slide left and] circle left 3/4x,
partners half CW pousette around current neighbors (robins move forward to start)
partners full CCW pousette around future neighbors (larks move forward to start)
current neighbors swing (end facing across)
B1: larks allemande left 1.5x, partners star promenade, butterfly whirl
B2: robins right shoulder round (or do-si-do)
partners swing
end effects:
if no couple is waiting out, the end couple should do the full CCW pousette with a ghost couple
If a couple is waiting out, they should participate in the full CCW pousette with the end couple.
Possible flourish: during the full CCW pousette, partners can do two CW half turns (i.e., turning pousette), preferably on the outside of the set while going around future neighbors. This happens twice hence a half turn each time puts the couple back oriented correctly for the neighbor swing.
