Finished dance.
Again, with thanks to John Sweeney for the buffet of tasty options for B2.
I believe I have thought through all the figures and choices (e.g. gents
passing R shoulders rather than L followed by a RH pull-by in A1) and I
think this will work well.
Again, this dance is derived from 3-33-33 by Steve Zakon-Anderson.
The intent is to give dancers an opportunity to acknowledge/thank the
others on the floor with whom they are having/have had a (hopefully) lovely
experience. It's also intended to be elegant and smooth (but, dancers will
be dancers!) and with music in the vicinity of, perhaps, 112 bpm.
Most of the interaction is with opposite role neighbours with a smidgen of
interaction with the same role.
If someone is inspired to call this, please let us know how it was
received. I won't have a chance for a while.
6-66-66. Ken Panton. Becket.
Derived from 3-33-33 Steve Zakon-Anderson
At the start of the dance, dancers have hands-4 with "previous" neighbours
A1 (4) Two gents pass R to swap places,
All face up/down away from previous neighbour
(2) New N (now current) pull by R
(as in dance 3-33-33)
(2) N (future) pull by L
(8) N +2 bal & box the gnat A2 (2) N +2 pull by R
(2) N (future) pull by L
(2) N current pull by R
(2) N (previous) pull by L
(8) N -2 Bal & box the gnat
B1 (2) N -2 pull by R
(2) N (previous) pull by L
(12) N current swing B2 (8) Gents pass L for 1/2 hey, ladies ricochet
(8) P Swing
Of course, dancers wrap-around the ends on Rs/Ls.
Many options for B2. The one that I'd particularly like to trial is go
directly from the N swing in B1, with a short circle L/unwind from N swing,
to P swing. The downside of that transition is that the ladies lose their
chance for same role acknowledgement which is the intension of the ricochet
and all that uninterrupted swinging might be dizzy.
