Re: [Callers] Give and Take 4x4

A while ago, i was intending to call a 4x4 (The Warm Up) at our local dance, the Chicago Barn Dance, but thought it might be nice to use a dance that accomplished the same thing (swinging both opposites during the sequence) but not using the star or a hey. Another idea to incorporate was the give and take, which seemed a good move for the standard introductory figure of many 4x4s. What i came up with is called Villa Olivia (where i wrote the dance): Villa Olivia 4x4 Tom Senior note "buddy" in your line of 4, (same gender person) and the direction you face. A1. Lines go forward, Men draw opposite back to swing (Give and Take), end the swing facing your buddy across the line of direction of the dance. A2. Make and ring, balance, twirl right one place (as in petronella), swing opposite #2. End facing across to your buddy. B1. Right and left across, ladies chain 1/2, turning to end facing partner. (in the direction of progression) B2. Lines go forwrd, Women draw partner back to swing. End swing facing original direction. Perhaps you may find this useful. Tom -- Tom Senior Dance while you can. see my website: http://marblechimes.com/ _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
