I love this dance for a crowd with lots of beginners. It's sure fire and pretty much
fail proof! And fun!

It is a simplified version of Apple PIe Quadrille by Ron Beeson which can be seen at

Coconut Cream Pie is the same as Apple Pie Quadrille in the A1-B1. Apple Pie quadrille is
a 5-part dance, and I found the progression tricky when there were new dancers in the
hall. Also, not all bands have a 5-part tune. So far, I've never seen Coconut Cream
Pie fall apart, even with a large percentage of new dancers. You can have 5 or 6 or 3
people in the stars, and as long as they get back to where they started, it's OK.

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
