I'm wondering if anyone could point me towards
dances that really hit a
homer - things like: Jubilation (Gene Hubert), Thanks to the Gene (Tom
HInds) Another Nice Combination (Tome Hinds), Star Struck (Nick Boulet),
Simplicity Swing (Becky Hill), The Carousel (GH), The Baby Rose (David
Kaynor), All You Can Eat (Ted Crane), 20 Below (Bill Olson)... dances that
can be the bread and butter of a less advanced evening, or just a handy
fall-back for more capable crowds. Dances without down-the-hall, and
without awkward transitions (right&left through -> circle L?! agh!).
Without addressing your actual question, there's a fix for that oogy
transition that Lynn Ackerson showed me. Lynn, you here? Hi! Instead
of a R&L through with courtesy turn, do a no-hands pass-through straight
across and a California twirl into the circle. It feels great.
