Version 2 (yes, by Steve Schnur and Gene Hubert) is correct. I have danced
Version 1 once or twice as called by others. I find it less enjoyable. I
assume it started as an attempt to slightly simplify the dance, but I could
be wrong about that.
There are too many unknown variables to allow a definitive answer to your
question about starting a new dance series. What positive benefits to the
dance community are you seeking to create? Do you want to develop a very
different dance series and attract a very different core group - for
example, a family dance, or one specifically welcoming beginners, in a town
that already supports an advanced dance - or do you want to sponsor more
events of the existing type, that will attract the same dancers? Have you
talked with the organizers of the existing dance series? Will you cooperate,
or compete? Do you have the support of others who will actively assist your
project? ... etc.

Subject: [Callers] Thanks and more
Hi all,
First I would like to thank all of you who have been answering my questions
so far. At first I didnt know how to email back only those who had
answered rather than the whole list, and then I thought that I would see you
at NEFFA. That did not happen either so here is a general thanks.
Secondly, I have two versions of Gene Huberts Summer of 84 (written with
Steve Schnur ?), that differ in A1 and A2, and I was wondering which if any,
was correct. I would love to call one of these versions this Thursday. Both
versions are duple improper. The two versions are:
Version 1
(A1) forward and back all (8), Men allemande left (1 ½), Right to Partner to
a wavy line across (8)
(A2) balance that wavy line (4), walk forward (leaving Partner) to new wavy
line across (4), balance there (4), Allemande Right shadow (4) and back to
Partner
Version 2
(A1) forward and back all (8), Men allemande RIGHT ( ½ ) (2), Partner
Allemande left to a wavy line across (6)
(A2) balance the wave (4), walk forward (leaving Partner) to new wavy line
across (4), Balance that wavy line (4), Allemande LEFT ( ¾ ) to Partner
The B sections are the same.
Finally, I would like to ask your opinion about starting a new dance series
in a town that already has a series. In the case I am thinking of there
already is a well established dance in the same town, and it is not at all
clear that the town can support two dance series every month.
Thank you all in advance for your replies,
Rickey Holt.
