Hi callers I had the opportunity to call in Dover NH at the 1st Thursday night dance with interesting results. (guest callers are welcome!) The dance that I chose was Dan Pearls 'The Rendezvous' (see below) The band had just changed tunes, I turned away from the crowed for the briefest of moments to acknowledge the band,(by this time I had called the dance 6 times through and thought it would be safe to cut the dancers loose) when I turned back the dancers were completing the F&B and I watched as the dance began to break down. New dancers were looking bewildered as to what to do next, meanwhile several beats of music had elapsed. After a brief panic, I simply asked the dancers to swing their partners until the music came to the proper phrase. The experienced dancers thought I had lost it, 'cause they swang for a long time! Through ½ A2 and all B1. (but this maneuver put all of us at the same place) At the proper moment I had them C L into the B2 ... the rest of the dance went without a hitch. It has taking a while but now I can distinguish the different music phrases and where they relate to the dance being called thus avoiding disaster on the floor. Thanks Gale A1 Swing Below A2 LL F&B W DSD 1.5X face Part B1 All B&S partner B2 Cir L 1X Slide L to new Couple Cir L ¾ (to A1) Thanks Dan for a fun dance!
