I used this dance recently (I was an emergency substitute) and was very pleased with how well it went. Not only is it a no-partner dance, it doesn’t even matter how big the circles are (though I did have them start out in circles of 4). So no one gets left out even if the scatter to make new circles is chaotic. It’s also easy to get them into one big circle for the last time through and that’s a very nice way to end. I think I got it here on Shared Weight, thanks Claire! Beaumont Boom! By Claire Takemori (8/26/19) *Any number in scattered circles A1 Bal ring 2x, CL A2 Bal ring 2x, CR B1. LHS (pile of LH in the middle, keep walking same direction after CR) countdown 3-2-1 B2 Boom! Throw hands up and all twirl out of the star and make new circles. Can end with one big circle Claire says: I wrote a dance with no Partners that I love for family or parties where you start with a few and folks keep dropping in, but it also works for a large group.
