Re: [Callers] Head of the Bed - Revisited

Hi Chris, Yes, I recall the previous email conversations about the 1/2 promendade vs the Rt & Left thru... So, the introduction is before teaching at the top (A1)? or the one you've seen... When I walked it through in my head, here's where I got stuck: when you teach the B1 "1/2 Hey" W start pass Rt Sh, then "Shadow Swing", don't you need to explain in which direction to look for their shadow coming out of the 1/2 Hey? (to the right or to the left?)... or do they know from recognizing the face from the introduction of introducing the P, N, Shadow prior to teaching? Thanks, Karen Fontana Chris Weiler &lt;chris.weiler(a)weirdtable.org&gt; wrote: Hi Karen, Some time ago, I contacted Nils about this dance (because I had collected it without the title). You have the dance right, although when I did it the A2 was a R&L thru instead of a 1/2 promenade. Nils says that he calls it both ways, but that the swing to promenade transition is a favorite of his. As far as where their shadow is, here's how I think of it: If you reverse the last move of the dance, the roll away, their shadow is next to them both before and after. This is the way that Peter Amidon taught it and I copied him: "Bow to your partner, bow to your neighbor across the set, bow to your shadow next to you on the side of the set." It sets up a nice continuous rotation and identifies the three people you are going to interact with during the walk-thru. Chris P.S. Hope to see people at Ralph Page in a couple of weeks!
