Re: [Callers] Callers Digest, Vol 68, Issue 12- new dance - Contra Callers

15 Apr 2010

The ladies perform the 1/2 hey, crossing the set.  

The gents start the 1/2 hey, but meet in the center, touch hands, and bounce back (or
Richochet)  to their same side.

I would refer to the action by saying "as couples, weave past two couples, finish
facing 3rd couple".  Of course, I come from a square dance background where we
"weave the ring".  This would merely be a derivation of that call. 

What I'm not clear on is the richochet. I've heard the term, but am not sure of
the execution. Care to elaborate? 

Thanks,

 Right. Another way to describe it would be: 
 As couples zig-zag past 2 N couples, moving left around #1 (current), right 
 around #2, face the #3 (to A1: dosido). 

 Let me know how it goes if you call it.

 I don't know the answer to your question about whether the dance has 
 been written, but could you explain the B2 zig-zag figure? Does it 
 mean that as a couple, you pass by the next couple to the left (women 
 pass), then next couple by the right (men pass) and the next by the 
 left (women pass), then get ready to do-si-do a new neighbor for the 
 next time through? 

 I might try it this weekend. Thanks,
