Re: [Callers] Callers Digest, Vol 38, Back to Ellen's Green Jig - Contra Callers

20 Oct 2007

Another nice variation on Ellen's Green Jig that Graham Hempel here  
in San Diego came up with, is as follows:

A1 Do-si-so neighbor
Women do-si-do
A2 Men do-si-do
Actives swing
B1 (rest is the same) Circle left
Circle right
B2 Duck for the oyster figure, finishing with ones ducking under to next

This is really good for beginners. Balancing and swinging for 12  
counts is sometimes a lot for new people who don't know how to swing  
or balance, so limiting it to just the 8 count swing without a  
balance works out very nicely.

 I like to say that whoever is doing the taking "lures" the other
 person back to their side, or entrances, or enchants, etc., and that
 the other person resists the awesome power, or I'll say "be coy"
 which inevitably leads to people doing fish imitations.

 One of my favorite descriptive lines for potentially flirtatious
 moves is  "the boy chases the girl until she catches him." Of course, you
can
 use
 gents and ladies or men and women. And it can be she chasing and him
 catching, but you get the idea.

 I can't remember from where/who I got this, but I often use the line
 that it's especially fun if/traditional that "the ladies resist just
 enough to make it interesting."
