Hello all! In a scene with which I'm sure many of you are familiar, I woke up in the middle of the night with a tune stuck in my head, and I couldn't fall asleep until I'd written a dance to go with it. Let me know if someone's beat me to it: Molly Apple Pye, Becket A1: Balance Ring, Petronella Balance Ring, Pass through up and down A2: New Neighbor Balance and Swing B1: Gents start 3/4 Hey across (GL PR LL NR GL PR), Ladies Ricochet* B2: Partner Swing I realize the partner swing in this version is longer than standard, but figure since the timing can run long for a full hey with ricochet and since the next move is a ring balance, I don't mind giving the dancers the extra time to get their affairs in order. ;) *But maybe the timing works better if the Ladies dance a left-shoulder-round instead, to take up a bit more music? I need to play-test! In that case, the B's would be, B1: Gents start 3/4 Hey across (GL PR LL NR GL PR), Ladies Left Shoulder Round B2: Partner Right Shoulder Round and Swing Thanks! Angela

Well, now that it’s been pointed out to me, it seems rather obvious! Doh! I’d like to think that if I had read the list of tunes in the album before writing that email I would have figured it out. ha ha Angela, I like the way your dance matches the feel of the music. The hey in the B part is so appropriate! I do enjoy when there is an added feature at the end of a hey like an allemande or a shoulder-round and long swings tire me out so I think experimentation is certainly in order.

Angela, I clicked on the link and it took me to the Diversions Leveret album in Spotify but didn’t identify a specific tune. What is the name of the tune?

Um just saying, and I don't think anyone brought this up yet,.. we're talking about "Spring Break" by Nils. "Spring Fever" is a dance by Tony Parkes from the 1980"s, totally unrelated.. oui?? bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Callers &lt;callers-bounces(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; on behalf of Chris Page via Callers &lt;callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; *Sent:* Saturday, June 29, 2019 8:47 PM *To:* Jack Mitchell *Cc:* callers *Subject:* Re: [Callers] New Dance?
