Hi Chris and everyone, I've been calling this dance quite a bit with beginning crowds where it's not likely I'm going to be doing any diagonal moves, etc. Scatter mixers are my favorite type of mixer dances, at least at the moment. I found this will looking at other dances on Rick Mohr's web site. It's been well received when I've called it. Thanks, everyone, for the other great dances posted. I'll use them! Karen Fontana The Barn Mixer Mixer, Scattered 4's; By Rick Mohr; Boston MA Level: Easy A1: (8) Circle Left 1x (8) Right Hand Star 1x A2: (8) Right and Left through (w/ Hands! Makes a nice transition out of a Rt/ H Star.) (8) Neighbor Dosido (w N across) B1: (16) Neighbor Balance and Swing (This is your new Partner) B2: (16) Promenade anywhere with New Partner (Find another couple to Circle Left with) Found on Rick Mohr’s web site. March 2006. Author's notes: Written August, 1986. Summer dances in New Haven Connecticut are held in the beautifully rough-hewn Eli Whitney Barn, which has a long narrow space next to (and about five inches below!) a shorter space. It's perfect for longways sets but dismal for circles, so in need of a mixer I wrote this "scatter promenade" dance. It has turned out to be a reliable crowd pleaser; the chaos factor from the scattering is great for loosening people up early in the evening. Bill Olson (fine caller from Maine and all-around great guy) points out that doing a Maine-style right and left through (with hands) in the A2 makes for a nice transition out of the right hand star. Thanks, Bill! Chris Weiler &lt;chris.weiler(a)weirdtable.org&gt; wrote: Hi all! I was wondering if you would mind sending me your favorite neighbor swing only dances (no partner swing). I keep running into situations where I have a high percentage of beginners who want to dance with each other and it would help to have them practice the swing with experienced people early in the evening instead of trying to do it with their partner. Thanks!
