Another one for Three-Facing-Three is Walpole Cottage
by Pat Shaw - has
a C part as well so time to include some stars and heys. That one is a
Sicilian Circle so you get to dance with lots of trios.
Love Walpole Cottage! (The link to the instructions Bill Baritompa
posted was the website of the Playford Ball I called in 2000; hadn't
realized the dance notes were still up!)
Thanks for reminding me of the Strip the Willow Square, which I'd seen
on Thomas Green's site but never danced.
Or go back in time and do Fandango (Apted 1774) with two hand turns
rather than allemandes.
But this is a regular contra corners where the actives only turn two
corners, not the "turn four corners"
Tom was asking about. (And regular contra corners - whether that's
"Swing Corners" (per Wilson) or
"Turn Corners and Partner" - is a standard figure in the early 1800s; we
have that from before the ECD/contra
split, which is why it's in Chorus Jig and Fandango.)
