I enjoyed seeing the dancers figure out how to dance the unfamiliar figures -- nothing was too hard, the beginners got through it fine, and people enjoyed refining the timing for the Dublin Bay figure. I taught it without being very precise on the timing, to give people the joy of discovery. It was interesting to me that practically none of the dancers pre-bent the line for the A2. I think the 2's were enjoying the swoop across the set to start the (figure formerly known as a) gypsy; it's more dramatic than the usual oh-you're-here-already start of that figure. - Roger H On Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 9:28 PM, QuiAnn2 via Callers &lt;callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net <mailto:callers@lists.sharedweight.net>> wrote: I’ve also written a dance with this down the hall figure in it. I like to call it early in the evening since it’s very connected and has “rest” time for each couple. I haven’t run it through the Shared Weight gauntlet to see if anyone else has written it. Please let me know if it’s already out there.
