There seems to be an awkward sequence in the B1 in the below referenced dance: B1 Promenade (the dance originally called for a right and left through here) Gents allemande Right 3/4 to a fleeting long lineThe gents right hand may be behind the lady for the promenade then the gent has to reach out with his right hand for an allemande right without bopping his neighbor in the head or worse. Do I have this right? While walking this in my living room it seems uncomfortable, has anyone dance this sequence to confirm this? ----- Original Message ---- From: Jerome Grisanti <jerome.grisanti(a)gmail.com> To: callers(a)sharedweight.net Sent: Wednesday, February 6, 2008 5:16:05 PM Subject: Re: [Callers] Organizing Dance Cards Susan Kevra's "The Country of Marriage" has that "Mary Cay's" move as well, done by the men. http://www.io.com/~entropy/contradance/sequences/the-country-of- marriage.html Jerome ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

If I were going to re-write the dance it might look something like this: A1 Circle left 3/4, gents roll neighbor right 1/2 hey (gents pass left) A2 Neighbor bal. & swing B1 Long lines Gents Al. Right 3/4, new gents Al. Left 3/4 (ladies take a step to the left) B2 Partner Bal. & swing I have danced other dances with the gent's using this progression, but can't think of them right now. Maybe someone else on this list has them in their collection and would like to share?
