I've often wondered why dance writers wouldn't want to put their dances out there for us to use. Yes, one makes a bit of money from the books, but is it a living? Isn't the more important thing to have your name associated with your work? Having your dances online, proofed by you, and clearly marked as having been written by you, simply makes it harder for people to claim they don't know who wrote your dance. And it shouldn't stop you from making a book of your dances. Many of us like to buy books just because we like having them around, and they make such nice gifts!

Don't know if it's been written or not either. One thing I do notice is that the momentum is going to be wierd for the #2 lady and the #1 gent to get into the hey. They'll both have to change directions from the bend the line to start the hey. Perhaps rather than bending the line, doing a hand cast (lady goes forward, gent backs up) from the line to the hey would work? Jack On 4/14/2010 10:15 AM, Rich Goss wrote:
