Hi All,
Thanks for mentioning the dance, Perry. It's called
"A Nifty Fifty". Here it is, and yes, I just copied
and pasted it from my website at www.DaveColestock.Com
There's a dozen or so dances there. Bob Isaacs also
has written a dance called "50/50", which I will also
include here (I hope you don't mind, Bob). Hope you
all enjoy these dances.
Dave Colestock

"A Nifty 50" - 04/02/2004 Dave Colestock
Improper
A1 As Couples, Weave to the Right, passing by
current
N1 to a new N2, Lady Leads
As Couples, Weave to the Left, passing by N2 to
new N3, Gent Leads
Circle Right Once Around with N3
A2 Balance in a Ring of 4
CA Twirl (to face N2)
Swing Neighbor N2
(this becomes the new neighbor)
B1 Give RH to Partner Across the Set and Balance
with
Partner
Box the Gnat with Partner
Just the 1's, Swing Partner, end facing down
with
same N2
B2 RH Star
Circle Right back to improper position
(N2 becomes known as N1 at top of dance - still
current neighbor)
The dance has a nice flow to it, and has a 2 up, 1
back style of progressing. If you follow the path
the
couple makes on the dance floor, it looks like a 5
(with the weaves) followed by a circle right for the
0. It's a rather nifty way to trace a fifty on the
dance floor. Hence, "A Nifty Fifty". I wrote it
for
my good friend John P. for his 50th birthday in
April
2004.
"50/50" - 11/20/2002 Bob Isaacs
Becket L
A1 CL 3/4
Neighbor Swing
A2 Ladies Chain to Partner
1/2 Hey, Ladies pass RS to start
Give RH to Partner
B1 RH Balance w/Partner
Box the Gnat
1/2 Hey, Gents pass LS to start
B2 Balance and Swing Partner, (or Gypsy and Swing)
end facing new couple of left Diagonal to slide
left and circle with.
The dance was written for Bob Hofkin and Naomi
Weiner's 50th Birthdays in late 2002. It gives
everyone a chance to lead and follow in the heys,
and
maintaining eye contact during the dance is lots of
fun. Tip: If you tell the dancers to finish they
hey
in the A2 slightly to the Left of straight it will
help set them up positionally for the return hey
after
the box the gnat.

I know that Dave Colestock has a dance called
Nifty
Fifty. If he's around he might want to share
it
with
us; otherwise I think it's on his webpage, which I
think is simply davecolestock.com.
