One of my favorites, but it not easy to teach is *There is No Way To Peace; Peace is the Way* by Erik Hoffman: http://www.erikhoffman.com/peace.html And, although *I* don't think it's hard, this dance has two new moves: *Gold Star Wednesday **by Dale Wilson, (2012)* *...because good days deserve gold stars, and Wednesday was a great Day!**Contra improper* *A1 * Neighbor Balance & Swing *A2* Right hand star 3 places; Invert the star(see the note below) Left hand star *B1 *Gents loop right around neighbor (behind) then cross. Meet partner Ladies follow gent’s path around the loop but don’t cross. Meet Partner. Partner Swing *B2 *Circle left 3 places; Circle Balance; California Twirl *Notes * Identify Gent's Home place before start of dance. Both stars end with the gent in his home place. Invert the star means: Gents reach across their body (over the old star) with their free (left) hand to their neighbor who is behind them. Ladies take gent's hand with their free (left) hand. Let go of the original star. Make an arch. Gents step back slightly to allow ladies to step thru the arch. Joined left hands come down into LH Star.
