Dear Bill,
Would you please clarify the instructions for the dance below? I
believe that partners are doing the dip/dive with a shadow, but they
are traveling in the same direction up or down the set, so it is not
clear to me how they find each other again; nor how it is that they
are next to each other to start the hey.
On a different note: Dan Pearl has written a fine dance specifically
for the occasion:
Punxsutawney Promenade
by Dan Pearl
Contra/Improper/Int
A1 Neighbors balance and swing
A2 Promenade 3/4 (end facing up or down, looking at partner)
Partners dosido
B1 Partners balance and swing
B2 Circle left once
Pass through up & down and turn alone
(with same neighbors) Left-hand star 3/4
Cheers! Linda

Hi Luke,
I wonder if there are any dip& dives that
also have shadows...?
How about this? The ground hogs dip and dive with their shadow, say
hello
to a neighbor, and find their partners again.
Becket (cw)
A1: LC; LC on left diagonal
A2: Circle Left 3/4 (8); Dip and Dive 2x (4+4)
(note everyone with a shadow, those facing down start diving under
arch made by those facing up)
B1: N Bal & Swing
B2: Gents AL 1/2; 1/2 Hey across (L start L sh); Partner Swing
note: the 1/2 hey across is unusual as partners are on the 'wrong'
side of each other
those who come off must participate where they can. i.e.
A1b, A2b
contemplating a double-length (128 bar) dance
where you meet your
shadow
only every other time...
4x4's like First Bloom by Al Olson have a corner swing which
alternates
between neighbors and a trail buddy.
Cheers, Bill
