It is with a very sad heart that I report that Bob Green has passed on to
his eternal dance. He was surrounded by Martha and his 3 daughters and
listening to a recording by Stringdancer. We know that he was loved by many.
Stringdancer was a band Martha played in for many years... I know there
will be no visitation. But a burial and graveside service will be held
Thursday or Friday at Belle Fontaine Cemetery in St. Louis.

Bob will be dearly missed, in so many ways. My wife and I were able to get down to St.
Louis over the past couple of weeks to visit with Martha and say good bye to Bob, The St.
Louis contra and ECD dance communities have done a wonderful job supporting Martha through
this difficult time.
The graveside service this week will be a small family affair. I believe there are plans
afoot to have a larger dance community event for Bob at some point in the future.

I, too, wrote a dance dedicated to Bob. The return up the hall in A1
resembles a “march,” like his birth month. And if done to the right tempo,
the A2 will hark back to English Country, which I believe Bob liked almost
as much as contra (or maybe it was the opposite)
*March Fourth *(3-18-19) *by Elizabeth Bloom Albert*
Improper formation. Uneven choreography! (CALLER: I.D. 1’s and 2’s!)
*This one goes out to Bob Green of St. Louis, MO, whose birthday is March
4. *
See it danced here: https://youtu.be/Si6tkmoLhLU
{Dance starts w/ lines of 4 facing down hall, 1’s in center}
A1 (6) 4 in line, go Down the Hall
{After about 6 steps:}
(2) 1’s turn alone;* 2’s fall behind 1’s
(8) Return UP Hall, 2’s following 1’s
A2 When back at place:
(4) 1’s Cast and go below; 2’s move up**
(4) 2’s Cast and go below; 1’s move up**
(8) 2’s Swing; end swing facing UP the hall***
B1 With *SAME* neighbors:
(16) Neighbor Balance-Swing
B2 (8) Long lines F/B
(8) 1’s Swing; end swing facing new neighbors
NOTES:
A1: Usually dancers are encouraged to turn towards their neighbor when they
turn alone in a Down the Hall. Here, it works better if the 1’s turn toward
each other.
A2: The Cast and go below is borrowed from English Dance. 1’s cast first,
pushing off from partner {with inside hand} and looping around {outside
shoulder} to rejoin partner below the 2’s, who have meanwhile moved up to
the spot just vacated by their neighbors.
A2: 1’s will want to step back to edge of set while 2’s are swinging AND
position themselves above these 2’s to be ready for the [*SAME*] Neighbor
Balance-Swing in B1.

Very sad indeed. I was calling in St. Louis last
April and got to hang
out with Bob. Always glad to see his smiling face.
I wrote this dance for him and called it at that dance. Martha helped
with the B2.
My sincere condolences to Martha and the rest of the family.

Bob Green
Welcoming and generous, spirited and gregarious, bighearted and personable,
easygoing and hilarious.
He was devoted to his Martha. And always spoke with such pride about his
daughters. I am so glad he was part of this world and so sad he is now
departed from it.
