I have the following:
Monday - Monday Night in Ballard/Monday Night Fever
Friday - Friday Night Fever
Sat. - Saturday Night Line
Need:
Tuesday
Wednesday

I wanted to put together a gig with a weekly/seasonal theme.
Thanks...

Thursday Night Flash!
Longways duple improper 32 bar American jigs
A1: Men right-hand turn 1�, to face partner in a diagonal line of four. Do-si-do
partner.
A2: Diagonal hey for four, passing partner right to start.
B1: Right hand to partner, balance F and B; swing (6 bars).
B2: Half promenade, finishing opposite the other couple. Ladies chain across.
Written at 5 to 7 one Thursday evening, while planning "Beginners" - I needed a
dance with a diagonal reel of four. The whole
dance came to me in a flash - so Andrew Coates gave me the title. There's even a jig
called "Thursday Night".
Colin Hume, 1993 -- DWAD5, 1998.
========
Saturday Special
Circle 32 bar waltzes
A1: All join hands: four waltz steps in. Four out.
A2: Right-hand turn partner. Left-hand turn corner.
B1: Give right hand to partner: balance forward and back; pass on. Give left hand to the
next: balance; pass on.
B2: Take ballroom hold with the next: two chass�es in; two out. Waltz.
(I don't know who it's by.)
========
Tuesday Contra

New subject: Thursday Night Flash! was: Re: suggestions for dances
My mail client isn't showing the fraction in A1 that shows how far the
men turn.
Thinking it through, I guess it's either
1.25 (gents are closest to partner with their backs to partner, so
have to turn around)
or
1.75 (gents are closest to neighbor but facing partner; gents start
the do-si-do by
passing right shoulder (or pulling by with the hand they've
got) with each other, then finish the do-si-do back to back in
the line)
Colin, what didf you have in mind?

Colin, what didf you have in mind?
I didn't see it either, so changed the Character Encoding from Western
ISO 8859-1 to a few others. Western Windows 1252 resolved it as 1 1/2.
Fun with standards, eh?
Cheers, John
