Tina,
My error. I haven't called APQ recently and now that I look at them side by side they
are very similar. The major differences are that APQ is a 5 part dance and the 5th part
is what I always think of as the signature figure of the dance. CCP leaves out that part
and adds the CA twirl instead.
However, that last part does include the progression - so it is not static. It does,
however, lack the feature of most 4X4 where the couples change sides with each other each
time thru the dance.
It sounds like the version you have leaves out the last part - and I can understand why
you would not enjoy it as much
What I have is:
B2 is circle 8 all the way around
B3 (or C1 if you prefer) is
turn line inside out left gents lead
-inside out again - wider turn to progress
One thing that I enjoy while calling this dance is that B3 looks chaotic and you think
everyone is lost - but then it all comes together for the A1
Mac

Interesting, Mac. Now I wonder if we have different variations on the Quadrille, because
the only difference I see between that and Coconut Cream Pie is the added B2 Bal the
Ring/CA twirl that allows the dance to continue on in a contra line formation rather than
being static among the same 8 dancers. Would you post your version?

are we thinking of the same dance? I agree - this is a easy 4X4 and I like it - but I
don't see any resemblance to Apple Pie Quadrille - which I really like to call -
especially with newer dance groups. I find it much easier than Lynn's dance.

Hi everyone,
I had the pleasure of calling Lynn Ackerson's 4x4 "Coconut Cream Pie" for
the first time last night. It was, forgive me, easy as pie for everyone to get - which I
suppose was her reason for writing it as it's a simplified version of Apple Pie
Quadrille. (It was also perfect for an American 4th of July weekend dance, featuring both
stars and stripes [long lines]. Ha.)
Do you have other favorite, not too difficult, 4-facing-4 dances you're willing to
share?
Tina
