My humble composition:
Sashenka Joseph Erhard-Hudson Becket
A1 Circle Left 3/4, and pass through (8) with left hand ready for...
Hands-across left hand star. (8)
(After 1x, men drop out on own side)
A2 Women continue by left 1.5x, (8) give right hand to own partner to form
wavy line.
Balance wave (4)
Box the gnat to put men in the center back to back* (4)
B1 Hey for 4, partners start by right shoulder. (16)
B2 Partners B&S
*On last beat of A2, I encourage all dancers to finish box the gnat by
throwing their right hand in the air and shouting "Hey!". Tune selection
can encourage this: in the last phrase of A2, look for an ending
punctuation of two strong quarter notes.
Written for Northwest Folklife 2008, and named for the tune Sashenka by the
Portland-area band Hands 4.
I note with irony that what I wrote was yet another Becket of the type that
came up in another recent thread: (B2) P B&S to (A1) Circle L 3/4.
