Hi Folks,
Greg from Winnipeg - As customary, I just wrote a new dance and wondering if it's
already been penned. It has two versions, below, one is easier, as I introduce many people
to contra dancing in my group and it's nice to have a low stress option, the second is
more standard. I also really like dances where it doesn't matter what side you're
on, but it's hard to find variety without any corner figures.
In Action (standard) - duple proper/improper doesn't matter what side you're on
A1 - P DsD; Circle L
A2 - P B+Sw (end facing neighbours, doesn't matter what side but good to end on the
side you started on)
B1 - N DsD; LH Star
B2 - LL F+B, neighbour roll away on the return; new neighbour LH turn
(Or, if I was Rick Mohr: B2 - LL F+B (7), Neighbour Roll Away (3), new Neighbour LH Turn
(6)) LOL
Notes: Holding hands in long lines may not be necessary, as you're dropping them on
the return to do the roll away, so if you're late you'll only get a 2 beat hand
hold with your previous neighbour. It should only be required to pick up your current
neighbour for the F+B.
In Action (easy) - duple proper/improper
A1 - P DsD; Circle L
A2 - P Swing
B1 - N DsD; LH Star
B2 - F+B across, with your neighbour (8); roll away your neighbour (4) and the last 4
beats is flex/catch up (because I usually find it's hard for people to orient
themselves in the new minor set; I may say "Wave to your neighbour, then face your
partner" or something like that).
Notes: I took out the balance because it's only satisfying if you get it right on the
beat and my beginners are rarely ever there. The 16 beat swing can be catch-up time.
Greg
