I don't know how they dance it up in MA, but here in NC the gents almd to a
wave of 4. I think that's how the dance was written, and I also feel that
it makes for a better dance!
Have fun...

Subject: [Callers] Trip to Lambertville - 2 Questions
Hi,
I have two questions about Steve Zaikon-Anderson's "Trip to Lambertville".
(1) At the end of A1 the men are in a long wavy line and they balance. It
seems that dancers are balancing right and then left most often. Since
the
next figure is Gents Allemande Left, balancing left then right instead
would
seem better as this would make sharing weight on the gent's allemande more
satisfying. (2) I have seen two versions of A2. In one the gent's
allemande left to their neighbor for a balance and swing. In the other
version the gents allemande left to a wavy line of 4 across the set,
balance
in that wave and then swing their neighbor. In Nelson, NH, where I dance
a
lot this version (into the wave of 4) is how it is danced. I am planning
on
calling the dance at the Scout House in Concord MA soon and am wondering
which version is more common there.
Thanks for whatever help you can give,
Rickey Holt,
Fremont, NH.
