Thanks Jim. I also retrieved this from one of the RPDLW lists. Ron is alwasy tweaking his dances as he finds needed. LOL. I asked him once if I could look over his "book" and he said sure but some of them really don't work. I said, so do you have them marked in some way, he laughed then said No. Laurie Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad <https://yho.com/footer0> On Monday, December 7, 2015, 10:43 PM, James Saxe via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote: I believe the correct title for the dance described below by Laur is "Mange Tak" (not "Mange Talk", "Mongatack", or "Manga Tok"). That's how it's spelled in the 2009 RPDLW syllabus http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2009.pdf It's the correct spelling for "many thanks" in Danish, which is what the title is based on. The dance Maia asked about has a clear resemblance to "Mange Tak" but also is clearly different, with more balances (which Maia says she definitely recalls) and with no shadow allemande. It's apparently an intentionally written variation, perhaps to achieve a little simplification, since Maia collected it from Ron Buchanan's calling, and it's unlikely he would unwittingly have called a folk-processed garbling of his own dance. I don't know whether this variation is one that Ron came up with himself nor whether it has a more specific title than something like "Mange Tak (variation)". --Jim On Dec 7, 2015, at 6:38 PM, Laur via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote: neighbor halfway, gents allemande left halfway, allemande right partner ¾ halfway, gents allemande left halfway, allemande right neighbor ¾ to a new neighbor The title is Danish for “Many Thanks.” shoulder, ladies catch left hands and turn just ¼ as gents walk all the way to the other side and take right hands with the lady to form a wavy line -of- 4 across. callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote: <snip> _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net
