He- Ahem- AHOY, Shared Weight? Did you know that September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Me neither, but the dance I'm calling tonight was sure to let me know! I know there are a bunch of Pirate-themed dances out there (one that I heard Maggie Jo Saylor called years ago springs to mind, with two consecutive wave balances). Send along some of your favorites, maybe others with gigs this weekend will find they come in handy! Thanks! Angela www.angeladecarlis.com

Well, there's my The Love Pirate, which offers the softer side of the pirate lifestyle: http://veino.com/blog/?p=1634 On Sep 16, 2017 10:21 AM, "Angela DeCarlis via Callers" < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: He- Ahem- AHOY, Shared Weight?

A Pirate's Life for Me, by Nathaniel Jack (haaa Perry you were too quick on the draw!) Also, cheap trick, but the gimmick of Maggie Jo Saylor's dance is petronella turn and instead of the claps, shouting "yo ho!" -- can be applied to any petronella turn set to a jig.

These are all great suggestions, thanks all! Keep em coming! After gong through my dances, I've also pulled out Bob Isaacs's "Double Trouble," my* "Sharks in the Pond," and...*cough*...Luke Donforth's "Leave 'Em Hanging." *written also with Lynn Ackerson, Bryan Suchenski, and Erika Rosenberg in a Pinewoods workshop led by Rick Mohr some years ago.

It"s a Pirate's Life for Me by Nathaniel Jack is the first that always comes to mind. Treasure of the Sierra Madre is another.

Jack's Sparrow is a four couple longways that works at most contras. The two-hand turn by the profressed 1s at the end is often done as a partner swing. https://youtu.be/CDTNZbQvkD0 .

How about "ARR-lemande left" and "dosados yer matey" (or neighb-ARR if that's not redundant). Of course ask the band for some hornpipes. For simple costuming, rig an eye patch and do-rag (pirate style). A plastic Captain Hook hook shouldn't be too hard to find (albeit usually children's sized). Bob
