[Callers] Give the Scout a Hand

Jeremy, Here is the dance that you asked for: Give the Scout a Hand Becket-L Bob Isaacs and Chris Weiler A1. Circle L 3/4, neighbor swing A2. Long lines, gents allemande L 1 1/2 - give R to partner B1. Balance, box the gnat, 1/2 hey with hands (partner pull by R, gents pull by L, neighbor pull by R, ladies pull by L) B2. Partner balance, swing, then slide L, etc. Written for a fundraiser auction for the Concord Scout House in Concord, MA. Written 6/17/07. I prefer the 1/2 hey with hands to a standard hey since it gives the whole dance a connected feeling. I have used it with mixed crowds before with success. Best, Chris
