It was, forgive me, easy as pie for everyone to get - which I suppose was her reason for writing it as it's a simplified version of Apple Pie Quadrille. (It was also perfect for an American 4th of July weekend dance, featuring both stars and stripes [long lines]. Ha.) Do you have other favorite, not too difficult, 4-facing-4 dances you're willing to share?   Tina _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers

Sure, Dorcas!  Here you go: Coconut Cream Pie                         4-facing-4  / Easy but interesting Lynn Ackerson A1       (8)       LL F&B (8)       Center 4 - RH star 1x (hands across) A2       (8)       P – Al–L  1-½ (8)       Other 4 (outsides) RH Star 1x B1        (16)     P – B & Sw B2        (8)       All 8 Circle L ½ (4)       Bal the ring (4)       P - CA twirl   Ron Beeson's Apple Pie Quadrille is the same except the B2 is only Cir L all the way around.

Here's the dance Coconut Cream Pie   A1: Lines F&B        Center 4 (center two in each line) Right hand star 1x A2: Partner allemande L 1.5        Other 4 R hand star 1x B1: Partner B&S B2: All 8 Circle L 3/4        Balance ring        w/partner, CA twirl   It is a simplified version of Apple PIe Quadrille by Ron Beeson which can be seen at http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2008.pdf Coconut Cream Pie is the same as Apple Pie Quadrille in the A1-B1. Apple Pie quadrille is a 5-part dance, and I found the progression tricky when there were new dancers in the hall. Also, not all bands have a 5-part tune. So far, I've never seen Coconut Cream Pie fall apart, even with a large percentage of new dancers. You can have 5 or 6 or 3 people in the stars, and as long as they get  back to where they started, it's OK. --- On Sat, 7/6/13, Dorcas Hand <handd51(a)tekkmail.com> wrote: From: Dorcas Hand <handd51(a)tekkmail.com> Subject: Re: [Callers] Coconut Cream Pie: easy 4-facing-4s To: "Tina Fields" <tfields8(a)yahoo.com>om>, "Caller's discussion list" <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Date: Saturday, July 6, 2013, 1:06 PM Could you post the calls?

Love the dance, but I can't stand coconut, in pie or anything else. On Jul 6, 2013, at 2:35 PM, Joyce Miller <joyceling(a)sbcglobal.net> wrote:

Used Coconut Cream Pie at the Dallas dance tonight and it was a big hit. Half the room was beginners and they got it and really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! -- *Looking forward, Linda S. Mrosko 7302 CR 2829 Mabank, Texas 75156 (903) 451-5535 (H)*
