Re: [Callers] Dancing Dancing Bear

I'd like to add one piece to the Almd. R 1/2 and do a hop: the dancers are encouraged to grunt like a bear as they hop. ("Uhhhhh!") This is how I saw Becky teach it, and how I've taught it since. Most folks seem to enjoy the humor of it, as well as the chance to make some noise. ~Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: <richgoss(a)comcast.net> To: "Caller's discussion list" <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 6:41 PM Subject: Re: [Callers] Dancing Dancing Bear I was present, and dancing, at a dance once where Becky Hill taught the A1 of Dancing Bear with a demo. I always teach it exactly this way. This is how the Becky taught it: Allemande right just 1/2, then do a little hop (dancers LOVE this little hop. Alle 1/2 and hop takes 4 beats) Then switch hands and allemande left one full time (another 4 beats) into the ladies chain. That's the whole A1. It works just fine.
