WarmUp

Jerry Blum, Patti Gutwein, John Lenarduzz, Kathryn C. Millis, Josh Moses, Dave Notman, Bill Olson, Kate Power, Cary Ravitz at Winter WarmUp, Columbus OH         12-2010

Double improper contra

A1	-	Lines of four go forward and back (8).
	-	Up and down in sets of four, ladies pass right to start a 1/2 hey (8).
	-	Each couple turn slightly to face the diagonally opposite couple.
A2	-	In the set of eight, ladies star right 1/2 (6).
	-	First neighbors swing and end facing across (10).
B1	-	Across in sets of four, men allemande left 1+1/2 (8).
	-	Second neighbors swing and end facing up and down (8).
B2	-	Up and down in sets of four, circle left 3/4 (8).
	-	Partners swing and end facing your original direction (8).

Alternate A1

A1	-	Lines of four go forward and back and the two couples with the men on the outside roll away with a half sashay so that men are in the middle (8).
	-	Up and down in sets of four, dancers on the right (lady who did not roll away, man who did a half sashay) pass right to start a 1/2 hey (8).

The alternate A1 puts the lady who did a roll away into a better position to start the star right. This is obviously harder to teach, but maybe more interesting to dance.

Alternate A1,A2 by Seth Tepfer.

A1	-	Lines of four go forward and back (8).
	-	Each couple turn slightly to face the diagonally opposite couple.
	-	In the set of eight, ladies star right 1/2 to a courtesy turn (grand chain) (8).
A2	-	Up and down in sets of four, ladies pass right to start a 1/2 hey (8).
	-	First neighbors swing and end facing across (8).

And to toot my own horn, I love Two for Tea: a bouncy dance with column circulate
